WARNING
Warnings and Safety Precaution
The NEC PlasmaSync 4210W 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.
Page 3
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:
* 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 whenever possible.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
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.

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.
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 4210W est en usage continu ou longue
durée, prenez les mesures suivantes afin d'éviter l'occurence
de combustion au phosphore :

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 4210W 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.
