Warnings and Safety Precaution

The NEC Multimedia monitor PlasmaSync 4200W is designed and manufactured to provide long, troublefree 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 internal 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 unplug 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 minutes. If the problem persists, contact your NEC dealer for service.

2.Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension 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 dangerous high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged 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 unqualified 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. Continued 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.

Mises en garde et précautions de sécurité

Le moniteur Multimédia PlasmaSync 4200W de NEC est conçu et fabriqués pour assurer une longue durée de service sans problèmes. Aucun entretien à l’exception du nettoyage n’est nécessaire. Utiliser un chiffon doux et sec. Ne jamais utiliser de détergents puissants ou des solvents, tel que l'alcool ouun diluant pour nettoyer le moniteur à écran plasma.

Pour un fonctionnement sûr et afin d’éviter d’endommager l’appareil, lire attentivement et respecter les instructions suivantes.

Afin d’éviter tout risque d’électrocution et d’incendie:

1.Réserver un espace libre suffisant pour la ventilation afin d’éviter une accumulation de chaleur interne. Ne pas couvrir les trous d’aération arrière ou installer l’appareil dans un coffret fermé ou sur une étagère.

L’appareil est équipé d’ailettes de refroidissement sur le dessus. Si l’appareil est logé dans un coffret ou sur une étagère, s’assurer qu’il y a un espace libre suffisant pour la dissipation de la chaleur.

2.Ne pas utiliser la fiche polarisée du cordon d’alimentation avec des prolongateurs ou des prises de courant, sauf si les lames peuvent être insérées à fond.

3.Ne pas exposer à L'eau ou à l’humidité.

4.Eviter d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation, et ne pas modifier le cordon d’alimentation.

Introduction

Introduction to the PlasmaSync 42–inch Plasma Monitor

NEC's PlasmaSync™ is a seamless blend of cutting-edge visual technology and sophisticated design.

At 42-inches, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, the PlasmaSync™ certainly makes a big impression.
