Quick Start

Connection To Your Personal Computer

For the PC:

Your system has one of two configurations:

– the video controller is built into the computer – the video controller is in the form of a display card

(sometimes referred to as the graphics card, video adapter or graphics board)

Both configurations have a video connector (or a CRT PORT on laptop computers). If you are not sure which port is the video connector, please consult your computer or display card manual.

For the Mac:

You will connect your MultiSync® P to your Macintosh computer:

– On-board video port – NuBus, PDS or PCI display card

Both configurations should have the same style video connector. If you are not sure which port is the video connector, please consult your computer or display card manual.

The MultiCable between 640 x 480, 832 x 624, 1024 x 768, 1152 x 870, 1280 x 960 and 1280 x 1024 screen resolutions without restarting your system, if the video port supports these modes.

To attach the MultiSync P system, follow these instructions:

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

2. If necessary, install the display card. For more information, refer to the display card manual.

If you are using a BNC cable, continue to Step 3. If you are using the MultiCable connection system, please skip to Step 4.

3. Make sure the BNC/D-SUB Switch on the front of the monitor is set to the BNC (out) position. Connect the D-SUB (or the appropriate connector) end of the video cable supplied with the display card to the connector of the display card. Connect the red BNC cable to the BNC connector on the monitor labeled “R”. The green BNC cable should be connected to the BNC connector on the monitor labeled “G”. The blue BNC cable should be connected to the BNC connector on the monitor labeled “B”. If you have a fourth BNC connector (composite Sync), connect it to the BNC connector on the monitor labeled “HS/CS”. If you have a fifth BNC connector (vertical Sync), connect it to the BNC connector on the monitor labeled “VS”. Please skip to Step 5.

NOTE: BNC cables may be purchased at your local

electronics store.

For the PC: Connect the 15-pin mini D-SUB (the smaller connector) end of the MultiCable™ connection system to the connector of the display card in your system. Connect the 15-pin D-SUB (the larger connector) end of the MultiCable connection system to the monitor. For the Mac: Connect the 15-pin D-SUB (the larger connector) end of the MultiCable connection system to the connector of the display card. Connect the 15-pin mini D-SUB (the smaller connector) end of the MultiCable connection system to the monitor.

5. Connect one end of the power cable to the MultiSync monitor and the other end of the power outlet.

ROMACLEAR CRT has dual Dynamic Beam Focus which

The C provides precise and continuous focus adjustment of the electron beams. Dual Dynamic beam focus provides optimum image quality, even to the far edges of the screen. You will notice the significant difference C

ROMACLEAR makes through enhanced

image clarity, depth and definition for realistic text, graphics and video.

ErgoDesign® Features

ErgoDesign features enhance human ergonomics (human and earth conditions), which will improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and save money. ErgoDesign features parallel the strict European standards of power management and reduced emissions and the requirements laid down in the MPR II.

Power Manager

IPM™ (Intelligent Power Manager) System is an innovative power-saving feature that complies with both the EPA’s Energy Star requirements and Europe’s TCO NUTEK power management requirements. Energy Star products use less than 30 watts when in the main power-saving mode. The NUTEK specification 803299 requires automatic power-down to less than 30 watts in the suspend mode and less than 8 watts in the off mode.

Introduction

When in the maximum power-down mode, the MultiSync P

750

monitor will consume approximately 10% of the total

power drawn under normal operation, which follows the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) approved DPMS power-down signaling method. This innovation adds up to 90% energy savings, longer monitor life, environmental protection, reduced emissions and reduced air conditioning costs of the work environment.

Reduced Emissions

NEC MultiSync monitors follow the strictest magnetic field, alternating electric field and electro-static recommendations of the Swedish Board for Technical Accreditation, or SWEDAC (previously known as MPR, National Board for Measurement and Testing) and TCO (excluding alternating electric fields) which specify maximum recommended values of electric and magnetic fields.
