*1. Use a standard USB Type A male to Type B type male Cable to connect the NS series PT to a personal computer
       (CX-Designer).
       We recommend that you use a USB cable with a ferrite core attached to ensure stable communications.
       (Examples: FH-VUAB from OMRON and U2C-BF series (US2-BF[][]BK) from ELECOM as of February 2016)
       Use a standard USB cable to connect the NS series PT to a PictBridge-compatible printer. USB cable type depends
       on the printer.
*2. To connect the NS series PT to NJ series Controller, using a commercially available 10/100-BASE-TX twisted-pair
       cable.
       For detail, refer to the NS series SETUP MANUAL (Cat. No.V083).

*1. NS5-TQ series (high luminance TFT) luminance is better than that of NS5-SQ series by about 110 cd/m².
*2. Contact your nearest OMRON representative to replace the backlight.
*3. This is the estimated time before brightness is reduced by half at room temperature and humidity. It is not a
       guaranteed value.
       The service life will be dramatically shortened if PT is used at low temperatures. For example, using the PT at
       temperatures of 0°C will reduce the service life to approximately 10,000 hours (reference value).
*4. Lot No. 15Z0 or later of NS5 models.
*5. This function does not indicate that the service life has been reached. It detects when the backlight is not lit due to a
       disconnection or other errors.
       Backlight error detection indicates that all backlights (2) are OFF.

*1. Contact your nearest OMRON representative to replace the backlight.
*2. This is the estimated time before brightness is reduced by half at room temperature and humidity. It is not a
       guaranteed value.
       The service life will be dramatically shortened if PT is used at low temperatures. For example, using the PT at
       temperatures of 0 °C will reduce the service life to approximately 10,000 hours (reference value).
*3. Lot No. 28X1 or later of NS8 models, Lot No. 11Y1 or later of NS10 models, Lot No. 14Z1 or later of NS12 models,
       Lot No. 31114K or later of NS15 models.
*4. This function does not indicate that the service life has been reached. It detects when the backlight is not lit due to a
       disconnection or other errors.
       Backlight error detection indicates that all backlights (2) are OFF.
*5. An analog touch panel is used with the NS15. Do not press the touch panel in two or more places simultaneously.
       If the touch panel is pressed in two or more places simultaneously, it may activate a switch between the points that
       are pressed.
