SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Before returning an instrument to the customer , al-
ways make a safety check of the entire instrument, in-
cluding, but not limited to, the following items.
a. Be sure that no built-in protective devices are
defective and/or have been defeated during
servicing. (1) Protective shields are provided on
this chassis to protect both the technician and
the customer. Correctly replace all missing protective shields, including any removed for servicing convenience. (2) When reinstalling the
chassis and/or other assembly in the cabinet, be
sure to put back in place all protective devices,
including,but not limited to, nonmetallic control
knobs,insulating fishpapers,adjustment and
compartment covers/shields, and isolation resistor/capacitor networks. Do not operate this
instrument or permit it to be operated without all protective devices correctly installed
and functioning.
b. Be sure that there are no cabinet openings
through which an adult or child might be able to
insert their fingers and contact a hazardous voltage. Such opening include,but are not limited to,
(1) spacing between the picture tube and the
cabinet mask, (2) excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and (3) an improperly fitted and/or
incorrectly secured cabinet back cover.
c. Leakage Current Hot Check — With the instru-
ment completely reassembled,plug the AC line
cord directly into a 240V AC outlet. (Do not use
an isolation transformer during this test.) Use a
leakage current tester or a metering system that
complies with American National Standards Institutes (ANSI) C101.1 Leakage Current for Appliances and Underwriters Laboratories(UL)
1950. With the instrument AC switch first in the
ON position and then in the OFF position, measure from a known earth ground (metal
waterpipe, conduit,etc.) to all exposed metal
parts of the instrument(antennas, handle
bracket, metal cabinet, screwheads, metallic
overlays, control shafts,etc.), especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return
path to the chassis. Any current measured must
not exceed 3.5 milliamp. Reverse the instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat
test.ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN
THE LIMITS SPECIFIED HEREIN INDICATE A
POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD THAT MUST
BE ELIMINATED BEFORE RETURNING THE
INSTRUMENT TO THE CUSTOMER.

2. Read and comply with all caution and safety-related
notes on or inside the Monitor cabinet, on the Projection Monitor chassis, or on the picture tube.
3. Design Alteration Warning — Do not alter or add
to the mechanical or electrical design of this unit.
Design alterations and additions, including, but not
limited to, circuit modifications and the addition of
the items such as auxiliary audio and/or video output connections might alter the safety characteristics of this Monitor and create a hazard to the user.
Any design alterations or additions will void the
manufacturer's warranty and will make you,the
servicer,responsible for personal injury or property
damage resulting therefrom.
4. Hot Chassis Warning — a. Some MultiSync Monitor
chassis are electrically connected directly to one
conductor of the AC power cord and may be safely
serviced without an isolation transformer only if the
AC power plug is inserted so that the chassis is
connected to the ground side of the AC power
source. To confirm that the AC power plug is inserted correctly, with an AC voltmeter measure between the chassis and a known earth ground. If a
voltage reading in excess of 1.0V is obtained, remove and reinsert the AC power plug in the opposite polarity and again measure the voltage potential between the chassis and a known earth ground.
b. Some Plasma chassis normally have 85V AC
(RMS), between chassis and earth ground regardless of the AC plug polarity. These chassis can be
safely serviced only with an isolation transformer
inserted in the power line between the receiver and
the AC power source, for both personnel and test
equipment protection. c. Some Plasma chassis
have a secondary ground systems in addition to the
main chassis ground. This secondary ground system is not isolated from the AC power line. The two
ground system are electrically separated by insulating material that must not be defeated or altered.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
5. Observe original lead dress. Take extra care to
assure correct lead dress in the following areas:
a. near sharp edges, b. near thermally hot parts—
be sure that leads and components do not touch
thermally hot parts, c. the AC supply, d. high voltage, and e. antenna wiring. Always inspect in all
areas for pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring. Do
not change spacing between components, and between components and the printed-circuit board.
Check AC power cord for damage.
6. Components,parts, and/or wiring that appear to
have overheated or are otherwise damaged should
be replaced with components, parts, or wiring that
meet original specifications. Additionally,determine
the cause of overheating and/or damage and, if
necessary, take corrective action to remove any
potential safety hazard.
7. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE —Many MultiSync
Monitor electrical and mechanical parts have spe-
cial safety-related characteristics some of which
are often not evident from visual inspection, nor
can the protection they give necessarily be obtained by replacing them with components rated
for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have
special safety characteristics are identified in this
service data by shading with a mark on schematics and by shading or a mark in the parts list. Use
of a substitute replacement part that does not have
the same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part in this service data parts
list might create shock, fire, and/or other hazards.

PRECAUTIONS DE SECURITE
1. Avant de remettre un appareil à un client, faire
toujours d'abord un examen de sécurité de
l'appareil en entier comprenant, mais ne s'y limitant
pas les points cités ci-dessous:
a. Vérifier qu' aucun des dispositifs de protection ne
soit défectueux ou n' ait été endommagé pendant
les travaux.
(1) Les volets protecteurs sur ce châssis ont été
montés pour protéger aussi bien le technicien
que le client. Remplacer correctement tous les
volets protecteurs manquants, aussi bien que
ceux qui ont pu être enlevés pour la commodité
des travaux.
(2) Quand vous remettez le châssis ou d'autres
assemblages ensemble dans le coffret, vérifier
qu' ont été remis à leur place tous les dispositifs
de protection, comprenant mais ne s' y limitant
point, les boutons de contrôle non-métalliques,
les feuilles d'isolation, les couverture/volets de
l'ajustement et du compartiment, et l'isolation des
réseaux résistance/condensateur. Ne pas
travailler sur cet appareil ni permettre qu'y
soit effectué un travail sans que tous les
dispositifs de protection n' y soient
correctement installés fonctionnants.
b. Bien vérifier qu'il n'y ait aucune ouverture sur le
coffret qui ne puisse permettre à un adulte ou à
un enfant d'y faire pénétrer ses doigts et attraper
une décharge électrique.
De telles ouvertures comprendraient sans pour
autant s'y limiter (1) l'espace entre le tube à images et le coffret de l'eppareil, (2) les espaces
excessivement ouverts pour la ventilation et (3) la
couverture arrière du coffret improprement fixée
ou incorrectement protegée.
c. Vérification de courant de fuite
L'appareil ayant été complètement réassemblé,
brancher-le à une prise de courant de 240V. (Ne pas se
servir d'un transformateur
d'isolation pendant ce
test). Se servir d'un vérificateur de courant
d'excitation ou d'un système de mesure conforme
aux normes ANSI (American National Standards
Institute) C101.1 Leakage Current for Appliances
et U. L (Underwriters Laboratories) 1950. Le bouton de l'appareil en position "Marche" et ensuite
en position "Arrêt", mesurer à partir d'une prise
de terre (métallique tuyauterie, conduite, etc...) à
toutes les pièces métalliques de l'appareil
exposées (antennes, poignet métalliques, coffren
métallique, tête des vis, surfaces métalliques,
traits de contrôle, etc.) surtout à toutes les pièces
métalliques exposées qui peuvent reconduire le
courant au châssis. En aucun cas, la mesure du
courant ne doit dépasser 3.5 milliamp. Inverser la
fiche de courant de l'appareil dans la prise et
répéter le test. Tout mesurage ne s'arrêtant
pas aux limites spécifiées icicomporte un risque de décharge électrique dangereux, qui
doit être éliminé, avant que l'appareil ne soit
remis au client.

2. Lire et respecter toutes les mises en garde et notes
de sécurité à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur du coffret du
rétro-projecteur, sur le châssis du rétro-projecteur
ou sur le tube à images.
3. Mise en garde contre la modification du dessin
Ne pas modifier ni ajouter à la pièce mécanique ou
électrique du modèle. Des modifications ou additions, comportant, mais ne s'y limitant pas, des
modifications des circuits et l'addition d'éléments
tels que des auxilliairs audio et/ou des
branchements pour la prise de vidéo, pourrait
éprouver la sécurité de ce rétro-projecteur et créer
un risque pour l'utilisateur. Tout changement ou addition accomplie annulera la garantie du fabricant et
va rendre votre service d'entretien, responsable des
dommages corporels ou de biens en résultant.
4. Mise en garde contre le châssis sous tension
a. Certains châssis de rétro-projecteur sont
électriquement reliés à un conducteur du fil de
courant et ainsi peuvent ne comporter aucun risque sans un transformateur d'isolation seulement
si la prise de courant est branchée, de manière
que le châssis est relié à la prise de terre de la
source de courant. Pour s'assurer que la prise de
courant est correctement insérée, relever les
mesures avec un voltmètre de courant entre le
châssis et un point de prise de terre bien connu.
Si le voltage indiqué est supérieur à 1,0V,
débrancher et reinsérer la prise de courant dans
la polarité contraire et une fois de plus remesurer
le voltage potentiel entre le câssis et la prise de
terre.
2-4
PRECAUTIONS DE SECURITE
b. Certains châssis de moniteur ont habituellement
85V (RMS) entre le châssis et la prise de terre, en
fonction de la polarité de la prise de courant. Ces
châssis peuvent ne comporter aucun risque
seulement avec un transformateur d'isolation
inséré dans la ligne de puissance située entre de
rétro-projecteur et la source d'électricité, cela
pour la protection aussi bien du personnel que du
matériel de vérfication.
c. Certains châssis de rétro-projecteur ont un
système secondaire de masse en addition avec
le système principal de masse du châssis. Ce
système secondaire de masse n'est pas isolé du
courant électrique. Les deux systèmes sont
électriquement séparés par du matériel
d'isolation qu' on vérifiera bien qu'il ne soit ni
altéré ni défectueux.
5. Vérifier la couverture originale en plomb. Accorder
la plus grande attention à la couverture de plomb
notamment aux endroits ci-dessous indiqués.
a. Près des bords aigus
b. près des parties très chaudes
Vérifier que les composants et les plombs ne
touchent pas les parties très chaudes telles que:
c. l'alimentation du courant
d. la haute tension
e. Ies fils de l'antenne
Pousser l'inspection, à tous les endroits, à la recherche des cordes pincées, déplacées ou effilochées.
Ne pas changer l'écartement entre composants, et
entre composants et le tableau de circuit imprimé.
Vérifier que le fil de conduite électrique est en bon
état.
6. Les composants, parts (pièces) et/ou fils qui ont été
trouvés surchauffés devraient être remplacés avec
les composants, pièces et fils s'y reliant avec d'autre
qui ont les mêmes spécifications que les originales.
De plus, rechercher la cause du surchauffement et/
ou des dommages et si nécessaire, prendre les
mesures propres pour prévenir tout risque potentiel.
7. Note sur sûreté de l'appareil
Beaucoup de pièce de rétro-projecteur, qu'elles
soient électriques ou mécaniques, ont des dispositions de sécurité qui ne sont pas toujours évidentes
d'une simple inspection visuelle et la protection
qu'elles donnent nécessairement ne pourront être
pas obtenues par les remplaçants avec des
composants aux voltages ou watts plus élevés.
Les pièces qui ont des caractéristiques particulières
de sécurité sont identifiées avec un trait marqué
sur les schémas et sont ombragés ou comportent
un trait sur la liste des pièces. L'utilisation d'un
produit substitutif qui n'aurait pas les mêmes
caractéristiques comme il est recommandé dans
ces données d'entretien pourrait provoquer une
décharge électrique, un feu, et/ou d'autres dangers.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1 . Cautions for disassembly
(1)For the suspension-type set (No. of workers: 3
to 5 including assistants)
• Take adequate measures in order not to damage the surface of the set or the filter, using a
protection mat (vinyl sheet or blanket).
• When relieving the set from the condition of
suspension from the ceiling, do not tilt its main
body too much by supporting its both sides,
while the mounting hooks (top and bottom) are
released. (Reasons: If the main body is positioned slantwise, a load is applied to its upper
part and there can be danger of making the
set fall down carelessly when the set is unhooked.)
• During disassembly, the allocation of personnel should be such that suitable stands or platforms are assuredly arranged to enable the
personnel to support the set, standing on both
sides of the set. For safety, it is preferable to
provide for assistant personnel who can receive
the removed set.
• During this removal work, support the set at its
frame with hands. Never touch the filter or glass
surface. Assistant personnel on the front side
should apply hands to the lower part of the
casing. [If the casing is strongly hit with a
wooden hammer or the like, the unseen side
area of the module panel glass may be broken
even though the module itself does not seem
to have been broken . Therefore , support the
frame by hand in order not to drop it.]
2.
The least minimum caut ions for product disassembly
• Secure a working space, arranged as wide as possible.
• Prior to disassembling the set, protect the acrylic
surface with an air mat or the like.
• To prevent the thread ridges from being damaged,
use an adequate screwdriver.
• Many screws are actually used. Therefore, use
two or three containers where these screws can
be kept . Never disassemble the inner parts of the
module (pipes, etc.).
• When lifting the module from the set, two persons
should stand on both sides of the module to hold
the stable parts of the junction while they lift the
module upright. (If dust or such foreign substance
enters in between the module and the filter, moir*
or similar problems can arise. In addition, once it
enters, it is necessary to take careful measures
not to damage the contamination area while removing contaminants.) [Please understand that the
replacement of the module may call for an air-blast
treatment (air brush) in a clean room.]
Complementary caution) In particular, if a conductive foreign matter (such as a metallic chip) is attached to the flexible cable of the module, there
can be danger of the occurrence of a phenomenon like wire breakage that is caused by partition breakdown in the module. For this reason, it
is necessary to bear in mind that the flow of air
blast should be directed only in the predetermined
direction at all times.
(2)For the wall-hang type, corner type, or pole unit
mounting set (No. of workers: 2 <generally>)
• Examining a good timing, release the mounting hooks (top and bottom) from the right and
the left.
• If the set is installed in an elevated place, provide for firm scaffolds in advance. It is preferable to ask for the support of assistant personnel as in the case of the suspension type.
• During this removal work, try to support the set
at its frame with hands. Never touch the filter
or glass surface. Assistant personnel on the
front side should apply hands to the lower part
of the casing. [If the casing is strongly hit with
a wooden hammer or the like, the unseen side
area of the module panel glass may be broken
even though the module itself does not seem
to have been broken. Therefore, support the
frame by hand in order not to drop it.]
3. Method of returning the set (when returning the
set to the manufacturing base in Japan)
• When returning the set, put the set in the speci-
fied package box.
Otherwise, swinging and vibration Ioads may be
applied to the set during transportation, and this
may give rise to destruction of a mounting section, such as gas-hermetically-sealed pipe (glass)
of the moduIe.
• When optional parts are also put in the box for
returning, a list of options (accessories) should also
be produced and returned, if possible. This arrangement is effective to confirm the owner of the
returned items.
• To confirm the user-oriented problem, and for the
purpose of future improvements, a report of reasons for malfunction should also be packed.
A definite address should be specified so that the
repaired set can be returned and faulty phenomena can be confirmed .

WARNING
WARNING
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.
Warnings and Safety Precaution
The NEC plasma monitor is designed and
manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.
No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use
a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use
solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel
surface.
The plasma display panel consists of fine picture
elements (cells). Although NEC produces the plasma
display panels with more than 99.99 percent active
cells, there may be some cells that do not produce
light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,
read carefully and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal
heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit
in a closed cabinet or shelves.
The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install
the unit in an enclosure, make sure there is adequate
space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and
escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat
protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned
off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and
unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is
installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler
location, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 minutes.
If the problem persists, contact your NEC dealer for
service.
2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension
cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely
inserted.
3. Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to
modify the power cord.
5. Unplug the unit during electrical storms or if the unit
will not be used over a long period.
6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous
high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in
this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a
serious risk of electric shock.
7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. NEC is not
liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified
persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer
all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.
NOTE:
When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach
the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this
monitor will not comform to mandatory FCC standards.
Attaching the ferrite cores:
Set the ferrite cores on both ends of the DVI cable (not

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply.
Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts
AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause
a fire hazard.
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not
drop.
3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct
sunlight.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and
have it serviced by an authorized NEC Service Center.
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly
recommended to use a trained,authorized NEC dealer.
7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.
Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to
phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain
operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a
static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in
phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To protect
your investment in this NEC plasma monitor, please adhere
to the following guidelines and recommendations for
minimizing the occurrence of image burn:
* Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver
function during use with a computer input source.
* Display a moving image whenever possible.
* Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
* Always power down the monitor when you are finished
using it.
If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous
operation take the following measures to reduce the
likelihood of phosphor burn:
* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as
possible without impairing image readability.
* Display an image with many colors and color gradations
(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).
* Create image content with minimal contrast between light
and dark areas, for example white characters on black
backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color whenever
possible.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.

Mises en garde et précautions de
sécurité
Le moniteur PlasmaSync NEC a été conçu et fabriqué
pour une utilisation fiable et durable. Il ne nécessite
aucun entretien en dehors du nettoyage. Utiliser un
chiffon doux et sec pour nettoyer la surface de l’écran.
Ne jamais utiliser de solvant comme l’alcool ou le
diluant. Le panneau à affichage plasma est constitué
de fines particules d’images ou pixels (cellules). Bien
que NEC produise des panneaux à affichage plasma
avec plus de 99,99 % de cellules actives, il peut y
avoir des cellules qui ne produisent pas de lumière
ou qui restent allumées.
Pour des raisons de sécurité et pour é viter
d’endommager l’appareil, lire attentivement les
instructions suivantes.
Pour éviter les risques d’éléctrocution et d’incendie:
1. Laisser suffisament d’espace autour de l’appareil pour
la ventilation et éviter toute augmentation excessive de
la température interne. Ne pas couvrir les évents ou
l’installer dans un endroit trop exigu.
L’appareil est équipé de ventilateurs de refroidissement.
Si vous installez l’appareil dans un espace clos,
assurezvous qu’il y ait suffisamment d’espace au dessus
pour permettre à l’air chaud de s’élever et de s’évacuer.
Si la température du moniteur devient excessive, la
protection contre les surchauffes entrera en action et
coupera l’alimentation. Dans ce cas, éteindre l’appareil
et débrancher le câble d’alimentation. Si la température
de la pièce dans laquelle le moniteur est installé est
particulièrement excessive, déplacer l’appareil dans un
endroit plus frais et le laisser refroidir 60 minutes. Si le
problème persiste, prendre contact avec le revendeur NEC
pour le service après-vente.
2. Ne pas utiliser la fiche polarisée du cordon d’alimentation
avec des prolongateurs ou des prises de courant, sauf si
les lames peuvent être insérées à fond.
3. Ne pas exposer à L’eau ou à l’humidité.
4. Eviter d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation, et ne pas
modifier le cordon d’alimentation.
5. Débrancher l’appareil pendant les tempêtes ou si
l’appareil n’est pas utilisé pendant une longue période.
6. Ne pas ouvrir le coffret. Des composants de haute
tension se trouvent à l’intérieur. Si l’appareil est
endommagé de cette manière, la garantie devient
caduque. De plus, il y a risque d’électrocution.
7. Ne pas essayer de réparer ou entretenir l’appareil
soimême. NEC ne saura être tenu pour responsable
pour toute blessure ou dommage causé par des
personnes non qualifiées qui essayent de réparer ou
d’ouvrir le couvercle arrière. Confier toute réparation
à un centre de service agréé NEC.
REMARQUE:
Lorsque vous branchez un micro-ordinateur sur ce
moniteur, fixez les noyaux en ferrites fournis. Si vous
ne le faîtes, le moniteur ne sera pas en conformité avec
les exigences des standards FCC.
Fixation des noyaux en ferrite.
Monter les tores en ferrite aux deux extrêmités du câble
DVI (non fourni) et aux deux extrêmités du câble
d’alimentation électrique (fourni).
Fermez doucement le couvercle jusqu’à ce que les crans
se clipsent.
Fixer le tore en ferrite (fourni) au câble DVI à l’aide d’un
collier.
Pour éviter le risque de combustion au phosphore, les
mesures suivantes sont recommandées :
Comme tous les appareils d’affichage à base de phosphore
et tous les autres affichages à gaz plasma, les moniteurs
Plasmasync peuvent être sujets à la combustion au
phosphore dans certaines circonsatnces. Certaines
conditions d’utilisation, telles que l’affichage continu d’une
image statique pour une durée prolongée, peuvent causer des
brûlures au phophore si aucune précaution n’est prise. Pour
protéger votre investissement dans ce moniteur PlasmaSync
NEC, veuillez suivre les directives et les recommandations
suivantes pour minimiser l’occurence de brûlure d’image :
Câble DVI (non fourni)
CollierCollier
noyau (petit)
Câble d'alimentation
électrique (fourni)
noyau (large)
noyau (petit)
noyau (large)
Connecteur
Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de
service de l’appareil:
1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 120 V 50/
60 Hz CA. Le fait d’utiliser l’appareil en continu à des
tensions de ligne supérieures à 120 Volts CA réduit sa
durée de vie et risque de provoquer un incendie.
2. Manipuler l’appareil avec soin pendant son
déplacement et ne pas le faire tomber.
3. Eloigner l’appareil des endroits chauds, très poussiéreux
et exposés en plein soleil.
4. Eviter que des liquides et des petits objets métalliques
pénètrent à l’intérieur de l’appareil. En cas d’accident,
débrancher l’appareil et le confier à un centre de service
agréé NEC.
5. Ne pas frapper ou rayer la surface de la écran plasma,
car des défauts risquent de se produire sur la surface
de la écran plasma.
6. Pour effectuer une installation et un montage corrects,
il est recommandé de faire appel au concessionnaire
NEC autorisé et spécialisé.
7. Comme c’est le cas pour tout affichage à base de
phosphore (comme un moniteur CRT, par exemple), la
puissance de lumière baisse graduellement au cours de
la vie du Panneau d’Affichage à Plasma.
• Assurez-vous de mettre en marche et d’utliser
l’économisateur d’écran chaque fois que c’est possible
lorsque vous l’utilisez avec une source d’entrée
d’ordinateur.
• Affichez une image en mouvement aussi souvent que
possible.
• Changer la position de l’affichage de menu de temps à autre.
• Coupez toujours l’alimentation lorsque vous avez terminé
d’utiliser la moniteur.
Si le moniteur est en usage continu ou longue durée, prenez
les mesures suivantes afin d’éviter l’occurence de
combustion au phosphore :
• Abaissez le niveau de l’image (contraste, luminosité)
autant que possible, sans faire perdre la lisibilité de
l’image.
• Affichez une image avec de nombreuses couleurs et
graduations de couleur (par ex. des images
photographiques ou photo-réalistes).
• Créez un contenu d’image avec un contraste minimal
entre les zones sombres et les zones claires, par exemple,
des caractères blancs sur un fond noir. Utilisez des
couleurs complémentaires ou pastels le plus souvent
possible.
• Évitez d’afficher des images avec peu de couleurs et des
limites nettes et clairement définies entre les couleurs.
Contactez NEC Technologies au 1-800-836-0655 pour
d’autres procédures recommandées qui conviendront le
mieux au besoin de votre appareil.

Command 1
Command 1, along with command 2, is a number used to
distinguish each command.
In the case of ACK, when the lower order 4 bits is FH (as
in 3FH and 7FH), this indicates that the commands and
data of the supported equipment have been received. When
the lower order 4 bits is BH (as in 3BH and 7BH), this
indicates that unsupported commands and data have been
received.

2) Error Processing
• When the communication interval is vacant for more
than 4 ms, thereafter a received Command 1 will be
recognized. If, at this time, meaningful data cannot
be recognized, that data will not be recognized (as
valid data).
• An ACK will not be returned unless the receive data
error, the check sum error, and the receive data are all
taken in.
Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2
Unit ID 1 and unit ID 2 are numbers used to identify the
equipment that is to be connected.
60H is used for the plasma monitor and 80H is used for
external control equipment such as a personal computer.
1) Unit ID 1: Indicates the equipment sending the signal
2) Unit ID 2: Indicates the equipment receiving the signal
Command 2
Command 2, along with command 1, is a number used to
distinguish each command.
Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK
1) The check sum described below and RS-232C odd
parity are used together for a check of the received data.
The check sum is the lower order 8 bits of one frame of
sent or received data comprising the sum total of
Command 1, Unit ID 1 and 2, Command 2, Data Length,
and Data.

This symbol warns the user that uninsulated
voltage within the unit may have sufficient
magnitude to cause electric shock.
Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind
of contact with any part inside of this unit.
This symbol alerts the user that important
literature concerning the operation and
maintenance of this unit has been included.
Therefore, it should be read carefully in
order to avoid any problems.
WARNING
WARNING
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this
product may cause radio interference in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures.
Warnings and Safety Precaution
The NEC plasma monitor is designed and
manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service.
No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use
a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use
solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel
surface.
The plasma display panel consists of fine picture
elements (cells). Although NEC produces the plasma
display panels with more than 99.99 percent active
cells, there may be some cells that do not produce
light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,
read carefully and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal
heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install the unit
in a closed cabinet or shelves.
The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install
the unit in an enclosure, make sure there is adequate
space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and
escape. If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat
protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned
off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and
unplug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is
installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler
location, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 minutes.
If the problem persists, contact your NEC dealer for
service.
2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension
cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completely
inserted.
3. Do not expose the unit to water or moisture.
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to
modify the power cord.
5. Unplug the unit during electrical storms or if the unit
will not be used over a long period.
6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous
high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged in
this way the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a
serious risk of electric shock.
7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. NEC is not
liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified
persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer
all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.
NOTE:
When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach
the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this
monitor will not comform to mandatory CE or C-Tick
standards.
Attaching the ferrite cores:
Set the ferrite cores on both ends of the DVI cable (not
supplied), and both ends of the power cable (supplied).
Close the lid tightly until the clamps click.
Use the band to fasten the ferrite core (supplied) to the
DVI cable.
Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas
plasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible to
phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certain
operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a
static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in
phosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To protect
your investment in this NEC plasma monitor, please adhere
to the following guidelines and recommendations for
minimizing the occurrence of image burn:
DVI cable (not supplied)
band
core (small)
Power cable (supplied)
core (large)
band
Connector
core (small)
core (large)
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power supply.
Continued operation at line voltages greater than 100240 Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might
even cause a fire hazard.
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not
drop.
3. Set the unit away from heat, excessive dust, and direct
sunlight.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small
metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and
have it serviced by an authorized NEC Service Center.
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes
flaws on the surface of the screen.
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly
recommended to use a trained,authorized NEC dealer.
7. As is the case with any phosphor-based display (like a
CRT monitor, for example) light output will gradually
decrease over the life of a Plasma Display Panel.
* Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver
function during use with a computer input source.
* Display a moving image whenever possible.
* Change the position of the menu display from time to time.
* Always power down the monitor when you are finished
using it.
If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous
operation take the following measures to reduce the
likelihood of phosphor burn:
* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as
possible without impairing image readability.
* Display an image with many colors and color gradations
(i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).
* Create image content with minimal contrast between light
and dark areas, for example white characters on black
backgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color whenever
possible.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
Contact an NEC affiliate or authorized dealer for other
recommended procedures that will best suit your particular
application needs.
