WARNING

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Warnings and Safety Precaution

The NEC Multimedia monitor PlasmaSync 4200W is designed and manufactured to provide long, trouble- free service. No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel surface.

For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read carefully and observe the following instructions. To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1.Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid inter- nal heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install in a closed cabinet or shelves.

The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you enclose the unit in a cabinet or rack, be sure there is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape.

If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and un- plug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 min- utes. If the problem persists, contact your NEC dealer for service.

2.Do not use the power cord polarized plug with exten- sion cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely inserted.

3.Do not expose unit to water or moisture.

4.Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to modify the power cord.

5.Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not be used over a long period.

6.Do not open the cabinet which has potentially danger- ous high voltage components inside. If the unit is dam- aged in this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.

7.Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. NEC is not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unquali- fied persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1.Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Con- tinued operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire hazard.

2.Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not drop.

3.Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.

4.Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and have it serviced by an authorized NEC Service Center.

5.Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the screen.

6.The equipment should be installed by a serviceperson.

No one other than a serviceperson should install the equipment. Attempting to do so may result in injury.

7.Do not display a same still image on the screenfor long, consecutive time. Otherwise, the afterimage may ap- pear on a part of a panel.
