WARNING

Warnings and Safety Precaution

The NEC plasma monitor 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. Ne v er 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 activ e cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit. For operating saf ety and to a v oid 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 v ents 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. Av oid damage to the po wer 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.

8. Do not attempt to install or mount the unit yourself. Please contact your NEC dealer for installation.

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. To protect your investment in this NEC PlasmaSync monitor, please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the occurrence of image burn:

* 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 f inished

using it.

Power cable (supplied)

core (large)

band

(Plasma Monitor side)

Set side

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. 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.

NEC has built-in several operating modes in your PlasmaSync PD Series monitor to help you reduce the likelihood of phosphor burn. These are called the AccuShield Phosphor Protection System. If the Plasmasync monitor is in long-term use or continuous operation, use the functions available in AccuShield to reduce the likelihood of perceptible phosphor burn or to diminish its perceptible effects if it occurs. See pages 42,44 and 45 for instructions on how to use the Orbiter, Low Brightness and Inverse RGB modes of AccuShield.

* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as

possible without impairing image readability . (See page 24, 29)

* 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.

Mises en garde et précautions de sécurité

Le moniteur PlasmaSync NEC a été conçu et fabriqué pour une utilisation fiable et durable. Il ne nécessite aucun entretien en dehors du nettoyage. Utiliser un chiffon doux et sec pour nettoy er la surf ace de l'écran. Ne jamais utiliser de solvant comme l'alcool ou le diluant. Le panneau à affichage plasma est constitué de fines particules d'images ou pixels (cellules). Bien que NEC produise des panneaux à affichage plasma avec plus de 99,99 % de cellules actives, il peut y avoir des cellules qui ne produisent pas de lumière ou qui restent allumées. Pour des raisons de sécurité et pour éviter d'endommager l'appareil, lire attentivement les instructions suivantes. Pour éviter les risques d'éléctrocution et d'incendie:

1. Laisser suffisament d'espace autour de l'appareil pour la ventilation et éviter toute augmentation excessiv e de la température interne. Ne pas couvrir les évents ou l'installer dans un endroit trop exigu. L'appareil est équipé de ventilateurs de refroidissement. Si vous installez l'appareil dans un espace clos, assurezvous qu'il y ait suffisamment d'espace au dessus pour permettre à l'air chaud de s'élever et de s'évacuer. Si la température du moniteur devient excessiv e, la protection contre les surchauffes entrera en action et coupera l'alimentation. Dans ce cas, éteindre l'appareil et débrancher le câble d'alimentation. Si la température de la pièce dans laquelle le moniteur est installé est particulièrement excessive, déplacer l'appareil dans un endroit plus frais et le laisser refroidir 60 minutes. Si le problème persiste, prendre contact avec le revendeur NEC pour le service après-vente.

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 L'eau 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 soimême. 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.

8. N’essayez pas d’installer ou d’assembler l’appareil vous- mêmes. Veuillez contacter votre revendeur NEC pour l’installation.

REMARQUE: Lorsque vous branchez un micro-ordinateur sur ce moniteur, fixez les noyaux en ferrites fournis. Si vous ne le faîtes, le moniteur ne sera pas en conformité avec les exigences des standards FCC. Fixation des noyaux en ferrite.

Fermez doucement le couvercle jusqu’à ce que les crans se clipsent.

Utilisez le collier plastique pour fixer la tore en ferrite.

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 inv estissement dans ce moniteur PlasmaSync NEC, veuillez suivre les directi ves et les recommandations suivantes pour minimiser l'occurence de brûlure d'image :

Câble DVI (non fourni)

Collier plastique

noyau (petit)

câble d’alimentation électrique (fourni)

Collier plastique

noyau (petit)

(côté du moniteur à plasma)

connecteur

noyau (large)

côté de l’appareil

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

1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 120 V 50/ 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.

6. Comme c'est le cas pour tout affichage à base de phosphore (comme un moniteur CRT, par exemple), la puissance de lumière baisse graduellement au cours de la vie du Panneau d'Affichage à Plasma.

• 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 moniteurs est en usage continu ou longue durée, prenez les mesures suivantes af in d'éviter l'occurence de combustion au phosphore :

• 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 a v ec peu de couleurs et des limites nettes et clairement définies entre les couleurs.

Power Management Function

The power management function is an energy saving function that automatically reduces the power consumption of the display when the keyboard or the mouse have not been used for a fixed period. The power management function of the display becomes operational when the monitor is used with a personal computer based on the VESA DPMS and DVI DMPM system. When preparing to display a personal computer screen, check that the personal computer is properly connected to this unit and that the personal computer power is on. When the personal computer power is off, the po w er management function will be activated and this unit will be set to the off mode. For information about the power management setting method, see the operating system (OS) manual of the personal computer you are using. To see the video when the power management function is operating, setting the input selection to video will switch the function off.

Power Management Modes

There are three modes in the power management function.

* Standby mode

The standby mode is set when the horizontal sync signal from the personal computer is not input. The image will be displayed immediately upon the input of the horizontal sync signal.

* Suspend mode

The suspend mode is set when the vertical sync signal from the personal computer is not input. The image will be displayed about 4 seconds after the input of the vertical sync signal.

* Off mode

This unit is set to the off mode when the horizontal/vertical sync signals from the personal computer are not input. The image will be displayed about 4 seconds after the input of the horizontal/vertical sync signal. This is the only power management mode using RGB3 input. When there is no TMDS link, the off mode is set. (This

power state is equivalent to the DPMS “off” state.) Displayed approximately 4 seconds after the TMDS link is restored.

Command 1

Together with Command 2, this is a number that distinguishes the various commands. For ACK, when bit 2 and bit 3 are both “1”, reception of a supported command or data is indicated. When bit 2 is “0”, reception of an unsupported command or data is indicated. Bit 0 and bit 1 should be set as described below.

Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2

1) Unit ID1: Sets a number corresponding to the various sets ID (1 through 4) when multiple screens are selected, and to 1 through 256 at the time of set ID selection. “00H” must be output when the ID is not set.

2) Unit ID2: Makes settings on the occasion of simultaneously operating all sets connected in cascade at the time of multiple screen mode and at the time of set ID selection.

Selection of all sets: FFH At time of regular setting: 00H

Data

Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK

1) Checks for receive data incorporate both the following checksum and RS-232C (odd) parity. The checksum comprises the following aspects of one transmitted or received frame: Command 1, Unit 1 and 2, Command 2, data length, and the lower order 8 bits of the total data.

Check Sum Example

9FH 40H 4FH 01H 01H 30H Command 1 Unit ID Command 2 Data Length Data Check Sum

▲

Total 130H

2) Error Processing (1) When the communications interval is 4 ms or

greater, the arrival of a subsequent Command 1 will be recognized. If meaningful data cannot be discerned at this time, that data will not be recognized.

(2) When the receive data error, checksum error, and

the receive data could not all be taken in, ACK is not returned.

3) Returning an ACK

When command processing exceeds 0.5 seconds following command reception, an ACK1 for which bit 3 of Command 1 has been set to “0” (during command processing) is returned every 0.5 seconds until command processing is completed. When command processing is completed, an ACK2 for which bit 3 of Command 1 has been set to “1” (at the end of command processing) is returned every 0.5 seconds until command processing is completed. Bit 1 of Command 1 is set to 0 ; when the UA2 setting is FFH, it becomes possible to simultaneously operate all sets connected in cascade and as a result, ACK is not returned.

Command 2

Together with Command 1, this is a number that distinguishes the various commands.

ACK

When various commands are sent from a personal computer (PC) or other external equipment, the display is always ready to receive them. Note that resending of the command is recommended when an ACK is not returned from the display within 1.5 seconds.
