U.S.A./Canada AC 120 V

Power source

This LCD TV operates on 120 volts 60 Hz, AC current. Insert the power cord
into a 120 volts 60 Hz outlet. The mains plug is used as the disconnect device
and shall remain readily operable.
To prevent electric shock from the TV, do not use with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades and ground terminal can be fully
inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Never connect the LCD TV to 50 Hz, direct current, or anything other than the
specied voltage.

CAUTION:

Never remove the back cover of the LCD TV as this can expose you to very
high voltages and other hazards. If the TV does not operate properly, unplug
the LCD TV and call your authorized dealer or service center.
Adjust only those controls that are covered in the instructions, as improper
changes or modications not expressly approved by NEC could void the
user’s warranty.

Batteries installed warning

CAUTION: Incorrect usage of batteries can result in leaks or bursting.

NEC recommends the following battery use:

• Do not mix battery brands.

• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with

the same or equivalent type.

• Do not combine new and old batteries. This can shorten the battery life
or cause liquid leakage of the batteries.

• Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent battery acid from leaking
into the battery compartment.

• Do not touch exposed battery acid as it may injure skin.

• Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the remote control for a

long period of time.

• The batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,
re or the like.

Image persistence

• Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon
known as Image Persistence.
Image Persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a
previous image remains visible on the screen.
Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not
permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period of
time should be avoided.
To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the
previous image was displayed.
For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual
image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase
the image.

NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS
recommends displaying moving images and using a moving screen saver at
regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when
not in use.

CAUTION:

These servicing instructions are for use by qualied service personnel only.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than
that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualied to do so.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the TV are provided for necessary ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, these
slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.
Unless proper ventilation is provided, the TV may gather dust and get dirty.
For proper ventilation, observe the following:

• Do not install the TV face up, down or sideways.

• Do not install the TV turned over or upside down.

• Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

• Never block the slots and openings by placing the TV on a bed, sofa,

rug or other similar surface.
