DOC compliance Notice

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

WARNING

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Warnings and Safety Precaution

The NEC PlasmaSync 4205W is designed and manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel surface. The plasma display panel consists of fine picture elements (cells). Although NEC produces the plasma display panels with more than 99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit. For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read carefully and observe the following instructions. To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install in a closed cabinet or shelves. The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install the unit in an enclosure, be sure there is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the 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 water or moisture.

4. A void 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 50/60Hz 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 this causes flaws on the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended to use a trained,authorized NEC dealer.

7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in

Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas plasma displays, PlasmaSync monitors can be susceptible to phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. T o protect your investment in this NEC PlasmaSync monitor, please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the occurrence of image burn:

Contact NEC Technologies at 1-800-836-0655 for other recommended procedures that will best suit your particular application needs.

* Always enable and use your computer's screen saver

function during use with a computer input source. * Display a moving image whenever possible. * Always power down the monitor when you are finished

using it.

If the PlasmaSync monitor is in long term use or continuous operation take the following measures to reduce the likelihood of phosphor burn:

* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as

possible without impairing image readability. * Display an image with many colors and color gradations

(ie. photographic or photo-realistic images). * Create image content with minimal contrast between light

and dark areas, for example white characters on black

backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color when-

ever possible. * Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,

sharply defined borders between colors.

6. Pour effectuer une installation et un montage corrects, il est recommandé de faire appel au concessionnaire NEC autorisé et spécialisé.

7. Comme c'est le cas pour tout affichage à base de phosphore (comme un moniteur CR T , par exemple), la puissance de lumière baisse graduellement au cours de la vie du Panneau d'Affichage à Plasma.

• Abaissez le niveau de l'image (contraste, luminosité) autant que possible, sans faire perdre la lisibilité de l'image.

• Affichez une image avec de nombreuses couleurs et graduations de couleur (par ex. des images photographiques ou photo-réalistes).

• Créez un contenu d'image avec un contraste minimal entre les zones sombres et les zones claires, par exemple, des caractères blancs sur un fond noir. Utilisez des couleurs complémentaires ou pastels le plus souvent possible.

• Évitez d'afficher des images avec peu de couleurs et des limites nettes et clairement définies entre les couleurs.

Contactez NEC Technologies au 1-800-836-0655 pour d'autres procédures recommandées qui conviendront le mieux au besoin de votre appareil.

Pour éviter le risque de combustion au phosphore, les mesures suivantes sont recommandées :

Comme tous les appareils d'affichage à base de phosphore et tous les autres affichages à gaz plasma, les moniteurs Plasmasync peuvent être sujets à la combustion au phosphore dans certaines circonsatnces. Certaines conditions d'utilisation, telles que l'affichage continu d'une image statique pour une durée prolongée, peuvent causer des brûlures au phophore si aucune précaution n'est prise. Pour protéger votre investissement dans ce moniteur PlasmaSync NEC, veuillez suivre les directives et les recommandations suivantes pour minimiser l'occurence de brûlure d'image :

• Assurez-vous de mettre en marche et d'utliser l'économisateur d'écran chaque fois que c'est possible lorsque vous l'utilisez avec une source d'entrée d'ordinateur.

• Affichez une image en mouvement aussi souvent que possible.

• Coupez toujours l'alimentation lorsque vous avez terminé d'utiliser la moniteur.

Si le PlasmaSync 4205W est en usage continu ou longue durée, prenez les mesures suivantes afin d'éviter l'occurence de combustion au phosphore :

2) Connector on the external equipment side: Serial port (RS-232C) connector See the specifications of the equipment that is to be connected for the type of connector and the pin assignment.

3) Wiring

Use a crossed (reverse) cable.

Wire the cable so that each pair of data lines cross between the two devices. These data line pairs are RXD (Receive data) and TXD (Transmit data), DTR (DTE side ready) and DSR (DCE side ready), and R TS (Ready to send) and CTS (Clear to send).

Communication Parameters

○○○

8 bit 8 bit

Command 1

Command 1, along with command 2, is a number used to distinguish each command. In the case of ACK, when the lower order 4 bits is FH (as in 3FH and 7FH), this indicates that the commands and data of the supported equipment have been received. When the lower order 4 bits is BH (as in 3BH and 7BH), this indicates that unsupported commands and data have been received.

Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2

Unit ID 1 and unit ID 2 are numbers used to identify the equipment that is to be connected. 60H is used for the PlasmaSync 4205W and 80H is used for external control equipment such as a personal computer.

1) Unit ID 1: Indicates the equipment sending the signal

2) Unit ID 2: Indicates the equipment receiving the signal

Command 2

Command 2, along with command 1, is a number used to distinguish each command.

Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK

1) The check sum described below and RS-232C odd parity are used together for a check of the received data. The check sum is the lower order 8 bits of one frame of sent or received data comprising the sum total of Command 1, Unit ID 1 and 2, Command 2, Data Length, and Data.

2) Error Processing

• When the communication interval is vacant for more than 4 ms, thereafter a received Command 1 will be recognized.

If, at this time, meaningful data cannot be recognized, that data will not be recognized (as valid data).

• An ACK will not be returned unless the receive data error, the check sum error, and the receive data are all taken in.

Running Sense

The PlasmaSync 4205W regularly transmits a Running Sense command at an interval of approximately 1 second. (Running Sense command: 1FH 60H E0H 88H 00H E7H) This command is used to recognize optional equipment. The return of an ACK is not required when external equipment such as a personal computer has been connected. Note that destruction of this data is recommended when it is taken in.

When various commands are to be sent from external equipment such as a personal computer, the PlasmaSync 4205W is always receive enabled. Note that when an ACK has not been returned from the PlasmaSync 4205W in 1.5 seconds, a resending of the command is recommended.
