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. 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. 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.
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

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. Set the unit 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, Plasma 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 plasma 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 finished using it.
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 37,45 and 46 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.
* 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 colors 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 nettoyer la
surface 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 ven-
tilation et éviter toute augmentation excessive 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, assurez-vous 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 excessive, 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 modi-
fier 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

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. Pour effecteur 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 CRT, par exemple), la puissance de
lumière baisse graduellement au cours de la vie du Panneau
d'Affichage à Plasma.
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 Plasma
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
Plasma 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.
NEC a installé de nombreux modes d’opération dans votre moniteur
de série PlasmaSync PD afin de minimiser les risques de combustion au phosphore. Ce système de protection a pour nom
Système de Protection Phosphore AccuShield. Si le moniteur
PlasmaSync est en usage pendant de longues périodes ou en
utilisation continue, veuillez utiliser les fonctions disponibles dans
le AccuShield pour minimiser les risques de combustion au phosphore notable, ou pour en minimiser les conséquences si elle
apparaît. Référez-vous aux pages 37,45 et 46 pour plus de détails
sur l’utilisation des modes Orbiter, Illumination Réduite et RVB Inverse de l’AccuShield.
* 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 gradua-
tions 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.
