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.
*Always power down the monitor when you are finished using it.
NEC has built-in several operating modes in your PlasmaSync PD Series monitor to help you reduce the likelihood of phosphor burn. These are called the AccuShield Phosphor Protection System. If the Plasmasync monitor is in long-term use or continuous operation, use the functions available in AccuShield to reduce the likelihood of perceptible phosphor burn or to diminish its perceptible effects if it occurs. See pages 37,45 and 46 for instructions on how to use the Orbiter, Low Brightness and Inverse RGB modes of AccuShield.
*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 colors whenever possible.
*Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct, sharply defined borders between colors.

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 effecteur 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 Plasma 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 Plasma NEC, veuillez suivre les directives 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 avez terminé d'utiliser la moniteur.
NEC a installé de nombreux modes d’opération dans votre moniteur de série PlasmaSync PD afin de minimiser les risques de combustion au phosphore. Ce système de protection a pour nom Système de Protection Phosphore AccuShield. Si le moniteur PlasmaSync est en usage pendant de longues périodes ou en utilisation continue, veuillez utiliser les fonctions disponibles dans le AccuShield pour minimiser les risques de combustion au phosphore notable, ou pour en minimiser les conséquences si elle apparaît. Référez-vous aux pages 37,45 et 46 pour plus de détails sur l’utilisation des modes Orbiter, Illumination Réduite et RVB Inverse de l’AccuShield.
*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 photoréalistes).
*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.
