- Do not remove or insert the power plug with wet hands.

Doing so could result in electric shock.

- Unplug the power cord if it is not used for a long time.

- Do not attempt to repair the power cord if it is broken

or malfunctioning. Refer the servicing to the service

21. Do not stay in contact with the parts of the product that become hot for long periods of time. Doing so may result in

low-temperature burns.

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may

be required to take adequate measures.

To maintain compliance with EMC regulations, use shielded cables to connect to the following terminals: DVI-D input/output

terminals, HDMI input terminal, D-sub input terminal, RS-232C input/output terminals, and DisplayPort input terminal.

If a monitor is not positioned in a sufciently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries,

particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using xing devices like wall mount brackets recommended by the manufacturer.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the monitor.

• Ensuring the monitor is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the monitor on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the

monitor to a suitable support.

• Not standing the monitors on cloth or other materials placed between the monitor and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or its controls.

Especially for child safety

- Don’t allow children to climb on or play with the monitor.

- Don’t place the monitor on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

- Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” monitor. Care

should be taken to place or install the monitor where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

- Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the monitor so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by

(32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C) for the PN-U473/PN-U423)

Provide enough space around the monitor to prevent heat

from accumulating inside.

For the monitor in landscape orientation

For the monitor in portrait orientation

• If it is difcult to provide sufcient space for any reason

such as the installation of the monitor inside a housing, or

if the ambient temperature may be outside of the range

of 41°F (5°C) to 104°F (40°C), install a fan or take other

measures to keep the ambient temperature within the
