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 conform to mandatory FCC 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.

DVI cable (not supplied)

core (small)

Power cable (supplied)

core (large)

band

Connector

core (small)

core (large)

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.

Contact NEC Technologies at 1-800-836-0655 for other
recommended procedures that will best suit your particular
application needs.

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)

Collier Collier

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.

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

2) Connector on the external equipment side: Serial port
(RS-232C) connector.
See the specifications of the equipment that is to be
connected for the type of connector and the pin
assignment.

3) Wiring

Use a crossed (reverse) cable.

Wire the cable so that each pair of data lines cross
between the two devices. These data line pairs are RXD
(Receive data) and TXD (Transmit data), DTR (DTE
side ready) and DSR (DCE side ready), and RTS (Ready
to send) and CTS (Clear to send).

Communication Parameters

(1) Communication system Asynchronous
(2) Interface RS-232C
(3) Baud rate 9600 bps
(4) Data length 8 bits
(5) Parity Odd
(6) Stop bit 1 bit
(7) Communication code Hex

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.

Check Sum Example

DFH 80H 60H 47H 01H 01H 08H
Command 1 Unit ID 1 Unit ID 2 Command 2 Data Length Data Check Sum

Total 208H

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

41

taken in.
