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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
