Safety Precautions and Maintenance

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE

THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING

THE MULTISYNC® LCD COLOR MONITOR:

• DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers may

expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.

• Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be

harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure.

• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire.

• Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious

damage to the monitor.

• When operating the MultiSync LCD monitor with its AC 125-240V 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 must have
been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country. (Type H05VV-F should be used in Eu­rope)

• In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (5A) fuse installed for use with this moni-

tor. If a power cord is not supplied with this monitor, please contact your supplier.

• Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.

• The inside of the fluorescent tube located within the LCD monitor contains mercury.

Please follow the bylaws or rules of your municipality to dispose of the tube properly.

• Do not bend power cord.

• Do not use monitor in very hot, humid, dusty, or oily areas.

• Do not cover vent on monitor.

Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.

• If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

• If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.

• If glass is broken, handle with care.

• If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.

• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissipate.
Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other heat
sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor.

CAUTION

• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.

Image Persistence

Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Image Per­sistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT
monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period
of time should be avoided.

To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if
an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one
hour to erase the image.

As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends displaying moving images and using
a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.

• 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.



Recommended Use continued

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR

CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK

THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

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

•

Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below
eye level.
Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the
screen.

•

Position your monitor no closer than 16 inches and no further away than
28 inches from your eyes. The optimal distance is 20 inches.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away.
Blink often.

• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to
minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights
do not reflect on your screen.

• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.

• Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material)

directly in front of you to minimize turning your head while you are typing.

• Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

•

Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals

•

Use the preset Color Setting

•

Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-75Hz

•

Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due
to insufficient contrast.

For more detailed information on setting up a healthy work environment, write the American National Standard for
Human Factors Engineering of Visual Display Terminal Workstations – ANSI-HFS Standard No. 100-1988 – The
Human Factors Society, Inc. P.O. Box 1369, Santa Monica, California 90406.

Cleaning the LCD Panel

• When the liquid crystal panel becomes dusty or dirty, wipe gently with soft cloth.

• Do not rub the LCD panel with coarse material.

• Do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.

• Do not use OA cleaner. OA cleaner will cause deterioration or discolor the LCD surface.

Cleaning the Cabinet

• Unplug the power supply

• Gently wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth

• To clean the cabinet, dampen cloth with a neutral detergent and water, wipe the cabinet. Follow with a dry cloth.

NOTE: Many plastics are used on the surface of the cabinet. DO NOT clean with

benzene, thinner, alkaline detergent, alcoholic system detergent, glass cleaner, wax, polish cleaner,
soap powder, or insecticide. Do not touch rubber or vinyl to the cabinet for a long time.
These types of fluids and fabrics can cause the paint to deteriorate, crack or peel.

To avoid scratches

• Do not touch LCD panel using coarse material or hard objects.

• Use only a soft cloth for cleaning the surface of the LCD panel.

To avoid stains

• Clean fingerprints, water drips, chemical spills, etc. from the LCD panel immediately or discoloration and spots

will occur. If the LCD panel is rubbed with too much force, cracking may occur, which will lead to abnormalities
in the display.

To avoid breakage or screen trouble

• Do not push hard on the LCD panel surface.

• Do not set heavy objects on the LCD panel surface.

• Do not leave the LCD panel under constant pressure.
