Safety Instruction

Caution:

When operating the LA-1332JSW with a 220-240V AC power source in
Europe except UK, use the power cord provided with the monitor.

In UK, a BS approved power cord with moulded plug has a Black (five
Amps) fuse installed for use with this equipment. If a power cord is not
supplied with this equipment please contact your supplier.

When operating the LA-1332JSW with a 220-240V AC Power source
in Australia, use the power cord provided with the monitor.

For all other cases, use a power cord that matches the AC voltage of the
power outlet and has been approved by and complies with the safety
standard of your particular country.

Introduction to the NEC MultiSync LCD300

Congratulations on your purchase of the NEC MultiSync LCD

300 true

color monitor!

True Color Monitor

The MultiSync LCD300 monitor incorporates NEC’s own l3" true color
active matrix thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display to provide
superior display performance and a reduced footprint. Less than seven
inches in depth, the MultiSync LCD

300 monitor is ideal for

environments with space and weight constraints that require superior
image quality. A high resolution of 1280 x 1024 and a fine dot pitch of

0.20mm are ideal for displaying complex graphics and high definition
images. The MultiSync LCD
and text modes. The MultiSync LCD

300 monitor also supports VGA graphics

easy-to-use digital controls to adjust positioning and image lock. This
LCD monitor also carries the MultiSync brand name, ensuring greater
compatibility with today’s sophisticated computer platforms.

Analog Advantage

Because NEC incorporates only its own patented analog LCD modules
into its MultiSync LCD monitors, the MultiSync LCD
capable of displaying over 16.7 million colors in a continuous spectrum,
providing a truer repesentation of color. Like its analog predecessors
based on CRT technology, the MultiSync LCD300 monitor displays a
continuous gray scale and does not require the use of dithering
techniques, a mainstay of digital LCD panels, to approximate
intermediate shades of gray. In addition, the monitor’s high contrast
LCD enhances color vibrancy and improves focus with no geometric
distortion.

the MultiSync LCD300 monitor is analog through and through, it does
not require special analog to digital display or interface cards but can
accept RGB input directly. Consequently, the same display cards that
are used to drive the Multisync LCD
drive standard CRT monitors. NEC’s MultiSync LCD

300 monitor can also be used to

be used with a wide range of systems such as IBM PC compatible
computers, Macintosh and Power Macintosh, Sun workstations, Silicon
Graphics workstations and other workstations and x-terminals.

FullScan Capability

Using NEC’s own FullScan Capability, all of the resolutions supported
on the MultiSyn LCD

300 monitor are displayed full screen, utilizing the

most of the monitor’s large display area. Rather than displaying
640 x 480 resolution as a small box in the center of the MultiSync
LCD300 monitor’s display, this VGA resolution is displayed full screen,
allowing for greater visibility.

Reduced Footprint

The MultiSync LCD300 monitor offers nearly the same viewable image
size as conventional 14-inch and 15-inch CRTs at 40% of the depth and
30% of the weight. With a depth of about 17cm and a weight of 4 kg,
the reduced footprint of NEC’s MultiSync LCD monitor provides the
ideal solution for environments requiring superior image quality but
with size and weight limitations. And the monitor’s small footprint and
low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one location
to another.

Low Power Consumption

The MultiSync LCD300 monitor has been designed with NEC’s IPM
(Intelligent Power Manager) System. When utilized with an Energy Star
system or display card, the MultiSync LCD
innovative power saving utilily that complies with both the EPA’s
Energy Star requirements and Europe’s NUTEK power management
requirements. With a maximum power consumption of 40 watts, the
MultiSync LCD

300 monitor consumes over 50% less power than

conventional CRTs and emits less heat. In its power saving mode, the
MultiSync LCD

300 monitor consumes less than 8 watts. All this

300’s IPM System is an

translates into energy savings, environmental protection, reduced
emissions and reduced air conditioning costs of the work environment.

The MultiSync LCD

300 monitor follows the Video Electronics Standard

Association (VESA) approved power-down signaling method. Endorsed
by the EPA, VESA’s Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS)
method is the power-down process a system should use to communicate
to the monitor to save power. Power-down functions can be utilized
only with an Energy Star system or display card which adheres 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 Consumption

ON Green Typical: 40 watts
Standby & Suspend Amber Typical: less than 8 watts
Power Switch OFF No Light No Power Used

ErgoDesign Features

The MultiSync LCD300 monitor utilizes NEC’s ErgoDesign features
philosophy that adapts technology to the way you work, increasing
productivity through enhancements in comfort and ease of use.
ErgoDesign features include a low glare screen treatment, power and
brightness controls that are positioned within easy reach, easy-to-use
digital controls and a tilt base that easily adjusts to each individual’s
preferred angle of vision.

Recommended Use

For optimum performance, please note the following when setting up
and using the MultiSync LCD

• The optimum monitor position is facing away from direct

sunlight.

• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat

can properly dissipate.

• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage

to the cord may cause shock or fire.

• Use the monitor in a clean and dry area.

transporting.

• When operating the MultiSync LCD300 with its AC125-

240V worldwide power supply, use a power supply cord
that matches the power supply voltage of the AC power
outlet being used. The power supply cord you use shall be
employed one of the type H05VV-F with the earth pin,
which must have been approved by and comply with the
safety standards of your country.

300 color monitor:

• The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching

the system from the power supply. The monitor should be in­stalled close to a power outlet which is easily accessible.

• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive

cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution, glass cleaner or tissue
paper.

• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.

E - 6 Installation

Installation

Connection the Monitor to your graphics Card

The MultiSync LCD300 color monitor complements a host of
computing platforms including PC systems and workstations. When
setting up the MultiSync LCD
resolution, it is very important to know the specific video mode or
timing your graphics card or system will be using.

To attach the monitor to your system, follow these instructions:

1. Turn off the power to the monitor and computer.

2. If necessary, install the graphics card and drivers capable of
supporting 1280x1024 resolution.

3. Determine the graphics card or system type and the 1280x1024
video mode you will be using. Specifically, you will need to
know the horizontal and vertical frequencies, pixel clock output
and Sync mode of the graphics. If you need help, check your
graphics card or system manual.

300 monitor to run in its 1280x1024

4. Using Appendix 2, locate the corresponding entry for the video
mode and signal timings supported by your card.

5. Set DIP switches 1 through 6 on the back of the MultiSync
LCD

300 monitor according to the switch settings that correspond to

your selected graphics card’s video mode. DIP switch 7 should
always remain in the down/OFF position. DIP switch 8, the Sync
mode select switch, should be set to up/ON for separate or
composite Sync and down/OFF for Sync on Green priority mode.

6. Make sure the appropriate BNC cable is used. Should the
graphics adapter require a connector other than the 15 pin mini
D-sub male included with the monitor, please call your NEC
dealer. Connect cable to system.

7. Connect BNC cables as follows according to the input video
mode selected above.
