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 rain 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 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 flaws on the surface may

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
être tenu pour responsable pour toute blessure ou dommage causé par
des personnes non qualifiées qui essayent de réparer ou d’ouvrir le
couvercle arrière. Confier toute réparation à un centre de service agréé
NEC.

Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de service de l’appareil:

1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 120 V 60 Hz CA. Le fait d’utiliser
l’appareil en continu à des tensions de ligne supérieures à 120 Volts CA
réduit sa durée de vie et risque de provoquer un incendie.

2. Manipuler l’appareil avec soin pendant son déplacement et ne pas le
faire tomber.

3. Eloigner l’appareil des endroits chauds, très poussiéreux et exposés en plein
soleil.

4. Eviter que des liquides et des petits objets métalliques pénètrent à
l’intérieur de l’appareil. En cas d’accident, débrancher l’appareil et le
confier à un centre de service agréé NEC.

5. Ne pas frapper ou rayer la surface de la écran plasma, car des défauts
risquent de se produire sur la surface de la écran plasma.

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.

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:

Mode LED Indicator Power Saving

On Green None
Standby Yellow Minimum

Suspend Orange Moderate

Off Orange Maximum
(IPM Mode) (Slowest Recovery)

Off No Light No Power Used
(Power Switch, Off)

PLUG and PLAY

Plug and Play is the new Microsoft solution with Windows 95 to provide

automatic peripheral connections without confusing and time­consuming setup. NEC developed the monitor's Plug and Play capability
that allows your Plug and Play compatible system to automatically
identify, configure, and optimize the monitor connected to it. The
PlasmaSync 3300 multimedia monitor automatically tells the system its
identification and capabilities. NEC' s partnership with Microsoft provides
you with simple installation, setup, and service.

Remote Control Cautions

● Do not drop or mishandle the remote control unit.

● Do not get the remote control unit wet. If the remote gets wet,

wipe it dry immediately.

● Avoid heat and humidity.

● When not using the remote control unit for a long period, remove

the batteries.

● Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types

together.

● Do not take apart the batteries, heat them, or throw them into a

fire.

● When using the remote control unit in the wireless condition, be

sure to unplug the remote cable from the REMOTE IN terminal
on the monitor.

Operating Range

● The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of ap-

proximately 20 feet and within a 60 degree angle of the Remote
Sensor Window.

● The monitor will not function if there are objects between the Re-

mote and the Sensor Window or if strong light falls on the Sensor
Window. Weak batteries will also prevent the monitor from operat­ing properly.
