Mises en garde et précautions de sécurité
Le moniteur Multimédia PlasmaSync 3300 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. Si l’appareil est
posé sur un coffret ou une étagère, la température doit être maintenue
en dessous de 40°C.
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 la pluie ou à l’humidité.
4. Eviter d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation, et ne pas modifier le
cordon d’alimentation.
5. Débrancher l’appareil pendant les tempêtes ou si l’appareil n’est pas
utilisé pendant une longue période.
6. Ne pas ouvrir le coffret. Des composants de haute tension se trouvent à
l’intérieur. Si l’appareil est endommagé de cette manière, la garantie
devient caduque. De plus, il y a risque d’électrocution.
7. Ne pas essayer de réparer ou entretenir l’appareil soi-même. NEC ne saura

Introduction
Introduction to the PlasmaSync 3300
Congratulations on your purchase of NEC' s PlasmaSync 3300
multimedia monitor which includes Microsoft' s Plug and Play
compatibility. Just plug your PlasmaSync 3300 monitor into a Plug and
Play compatible system, and your monitor is automatically ready to run
at it' s optimum performance. Other examples of features that
enhance your multimedia monitor performance are the On-Screen
Manager(OSM TM) controls and the Intelligent Power Manager(IPM TM)
System.
The Intelligent Power Manager(IPM TM) System follows the United States
government' s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines. The
IPM System increases the monitor' s life and saves energy and costs by
powering down when not in use.
1
Feature Highlights
The OSM (On Screen Manager) controls have made the monitor' s Digital
Control System easier to use by providing menus on screen. Pressing the
PROCEED key turns on OSM. You' ll find it easy to navigate through the
menu that appears, and icons show you how the controls work.
IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) is an innovative power saving utility that
complies with the EPA' s Energy Star requirements . Energy Star products
use 30 watts or less when in the main power saving mode.
When in the maximum power-down mode, the PlasmaSync 3300
monitor will consume approximately 10% of the total power drawn under
normal operation. This innovation adds up to 70% energy savings, longer
monitor life, environmental protection, reduced emissions, and reduced
air conditioning costs of the work environment.
Monitors follow the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
approved DPMS power-down signaling method. VESA' s Display Power
Management Signaling(DPMS) method which is endorsed by the EPA is
the power-down process a system should use to communicate to the
monitor to save power. Power-down functions can only be utilized with
an energy star system or video card which adhere to the VESA DPMS
standard. By using the monitor' s horizontal and vertical SYNC signals, the
monitor can be prompted into the different IPM modes. The following is
the description of the LED indicator for the IPM power saving modes:
