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. Ne ver use solv ents 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 saf ety and to av oid 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 in a
closed cabinet or shelves.
The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install
the unit in an enclosure, be 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 unit to water or moisture.
4. Av oid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to
modify the power cord.
5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if 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

Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor b urn-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.
* Always power do wn the monitor when you are finished
using it.
Power cable (supplied)
core (large)
band
(Plasma Monitor side)
Set side
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. Locate set 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.
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
(ie. 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 nettoy er 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 éviter
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 excessi ve 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 excessiv e, 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.
Installez les noyaux en ferrite sur chaque bout du câble
DVI (non fourni), ainsi que sur un côté du câble
d'alimentation électrique (founi).
Fermez doucement le couvercle jusqu'à ce que les crans
se clipsent.

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.
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 in vestissement dans ce moniteur PlasmaSync
NEC, veuillez suivre les directi ves et les recommandations
suivantes pour minimiser l'occurence de brûlure d'image :
• 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.
• Coupez toujours l'alimentation lorsque vous a vez 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.
