Safety Precautions and Maintenance
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE
THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND
USING THE LCD COLOUR 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.
• 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 high temperatured, humid, dusty, or oily areas.
• Do not cover vent on monitor.
• If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.
Image Persistence: Image persistence is 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.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at regular
intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.
CAUTION
English
English-13
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 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 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm from your
eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm.
• 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.
• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any
cleaning solution or glass cleaner!
• 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.
• Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).
• Get regular eye checkups.
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:
• Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears.
• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.
• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
• Use the preset Colour Setting.
• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate more than 60 Hz.
• Do not use primary colour blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue to insufficient
contrast.
Cleaning the LCD Panel
• When the liquid crystal panel is stained with dust or dirt, please wipe with soft cloth gently.
• Please do not rub the LCD panel with hard material.
• Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.
• Please do not use OA cleaner it will cause deterioration or discolor on the LCD surface.
Cleaning the Cabinet
• Unplug the power supply
• Gently wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth
• To clean the cabinet, dampen the cloth with a neutral detergent and water, wipe the cabinet and 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.

*1 Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear different. This is
normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies when displaying non-native resolutions full screen. In flat panel technologies, each dot on
the screen is actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the resolution must be done.
NOTE: Technical specifications are subject to change without notice.

Features
Ambix Technology: Dual input technology allowing both analog and digital inputs off of one connector (DVI-I) as well as
additional legacy analog support off of a traditional 15-pin mini D-SUB connector. Provides traditional MultiSync technology
compatibility for analog as well as TMDS-based (Transition Minimized Differential Signalling) digital compatibility for digital
inputs. TMDS-based digital interfaces include DVI-D, DFP and P&D.
DVI-I: The integrated interface ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) that allows both digital and analog
connectors off of one port. The “I” stands for integration for both digital and analog, The digital portion is DVI-based.
DVI-D: The digital-only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for digital connections between
computers and displays. As a digital-only connector, analog support is not provided off a DVI-D connector. As a DVI-based
digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and other DVI-based digital
connectors such as DFP and P&D.
DFP (Digital Flat Panel): An all-digital interface for flat panel monitors which is signal compatible with DVI. As a DVI-based
digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DFP and other DVI-based digital
connectors such as DVI and P&D.
P&D (Plug and Display): The VESA standard for digital flat panel monitor interfaces. It is more robust than DFP since it
allows for other options off a signal connector (options like USB, analog video and IEEE-1394-995). The VESA committe has
recognized that DFP is a subset of P&D. As a DVI-based connector (for the digital input pins), only a simple adapter is
necessary for compatibility between P&D and other DVI-based digital connector such as DVI and DFP.
Pivoting Stand: Allows users to adjust the monitor to the orientation that best fits their application, either Landscape
orientation for wide documents, or portrait orientation for the ability to preview a full page on one screen at one time.
The Portrait orientation is also perfect for full screen video conferencing.
Reduced Footprint: Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring superior image quality but with size and weight
limitations. The monitor’s small footprint and low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one location to another.
Colour Control Systems: Allows you to adjust the colours on your screen and customize the colour accuracy of your monitor
to a variety of standards.
OSM (On-Screen Manager) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image via simple to
use on-screen menus.
ErgoDesign Features: Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and
save money. Examples include OSM controls for quick and easy image adjustments, tilt base for preferred angle of vision,
small footprint and compliance with MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions.
Plug and Play: The Microsoft
®
solution with the Windows® 95/98/2000/Me/XP operating system facilitates setup and
installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities (such as screen size and resolutions supported) directly to your
computer, automatically optimizing display performance.
IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System: Provides innovative power-saving methods that allow the monitor to shift to a
lower power consumption level when on but not in use, saving two-thirds of your monitor energy costs, reducing emissions
and lowering the air conditioning costs of the workplace.
Multiple Frequency Technology: Automatically adjusts monitor to the display card’s scanning frequency, thus displaying the
resolution required.
FullScan Capability: Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, significantly expanding image size.
Wide Viewing Angle Technology: Allows the user to be able to see the monitor from any angle (178 degrees) from any
orientation — Portrait or Landscape. Provides full 178° viewing angles either up, down, left or right.
VESA Standard Mounting Interface: Allows users to connect their MultiSync monitor to any VESA standard third party
mounting arm or bracket. Allows for the monitor to be mounted on a wall or an arm using any third party compliant device.
NaViSet: Is a ground-breaking software family, developed by NEC Display Solutions Europe GmbH, providing intuitive access
to all monitor setting controls and remote diagnosis via the Windows interface, based upon the VESA standard, DDC/CI. Using
a standard VGA or DVI signal cable, NaViSet can either benefit single users or, with NaViSet Administrator, can reduce the
Total Cost of Ownership through remote network-wide maintenance, diagnosis and asset-reporting.
No-touch Auto Adjust (Analog input only): No-touch auto adjust automatically adjusts the monitor to optimal settings upon
initial setup.
sRGB Colour Control: A new optimized colour management standard which allows for colour matching on computer displays
and other peripherals. The sRGB, which is based on the calibrated colour space, allows for optimal colour representation and
backward compatibility with other common colour standards.
Adjustable stand with pivot capability: Adds flexibility to your viewing preferences.
Quick Release stand: Allows fast removal.
AmbiBright technology: Automatically adjusts the backlight level depending on the level of ambient lighting.

• Front Power Switch and computer power switch should be in the ON position.
• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used.
(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended settings.
• Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.
• Check the signal input “DVI-I” or “D-Sub”.
• Ensure the DVI input mode is set to DIGITAL when the MAC digital output is connected to the DVI-I connector.
• If the front LED is dark green or dark blue, check the status of the IPM mode (see page 10).
Power Button does not respond
• Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.
• Check the Vacation Switch on the back side of the monitor.
Image Persistence
• Image persistence is 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.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at
regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.
Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank or shows rough images only)
• Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSM warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signal
clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.
• OSM warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed on a blank screen: Signal frequency is out of range. Choose one of the
supported modes.
Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent
• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
• Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing the fine total. When the
display mode is changed, the OSM Image Adjust settings may need to be readjusted.
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.
• If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 60Hz refresh rate.
LED on monitor is not lit (
no green, blue or amber colour can be seen
)
• Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.
Picture is not as bright
• Make sure ECO MODE and AUTO BRIGHTNESS are turned off.
• If the brightness fluctuates make sure AUTO BRIGHTNESS is turned off.
Display image is not sized properly
• Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the Coarse total.
• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used.
(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)
No Video
• If no video is present on the screen, turn the Power button off and on again.
• Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyboard or mouse).
Self Diagnosis
• The LCD display is equipped with the ability to self diagnose abnormalities. When the LCD detects a problem, the LED
on the front flashes in a pattern of long and short blinks, depending on the type of problem detected.
• If the LED detects a problem, please refer service to qualified personnel.

Using the Auto Brightness function
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depending on the amount of ambient light within the
room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim
accordingly. The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye in a variety of lighting
conditions.
The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by default.
SETUP
Use the following procedure to select the Brightness Range that the monitor will use when the Auto Brightness function is
activated.
1. Set the BRIGHT level. This is the brightness level that the monitor will go up to when the ambient light level is highest.
Make sure the room is at its brightest when setting this level.
Select “ON” in the AUTO BRIGHTNESS menu (Figure 1). Then use the front buttons to move the cursor up to the
BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level (Figure 2).
2. Set the DARK level. This is the level of brightness that the monitor will go down to when the ambient light level is low.
Make sure the room is at its darkest when setting this level.
Then use the front buttons to move the cursor up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level
(Figure 3).
