surface. In case of damage, arrange for repairs at an authorized NEC
Service Center.

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 build­up. Do not cover rear vents or install in a closed cabinet or shelves.
A cabinet or shelves in which the unit is placed must be maintained
below

40°C.

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 rain or moisture.

4. Avoid 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.

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 120V/220-240V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued
operation at line voltages other than 120V/220-240 Volts

AC will

shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when moving 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. Unplug unit before cleaning. Use only a soft cloth and mild detergent.

AVERTISSEMENT

DOC avis de conformation

Cet appareil numérigue de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du
Réglement sur le Matériel Brouilleur du Canada.

Mises en garde et précautions de sécurité

Le moniteur MultiSync Multimédia XV29 Plus de NEC est conçu et fabriqué
pour assurer une longue durée de service sans problèmes. Aucun entretien
à l’exception du nettoyage n’est nécessaire. Utiliser un chiffon doux et un
détergent doux, si nécessaire. Ne pas utiliser des aérosols de nettoyage du
commerce qui risquent d’endommager la surface de cet appareil. Si
l’appareil est endommagé, confier les travaux de réparation à un centre
de service agréé NEC.

Pour un fonctionnement sûr et afin d’éviter d’endommager l’appareil, lire
attentivement et respecter les instructions suivantes.

Afin d’éviter tout risque d’électrocution et d’incendie:

1. Réserver un espace libre suffisant pour la ventilation afin d’éviter une
accumulation de chaleur interne. Ne pas couvrir les trous d’aération
arrière ou installer l’appareil dans un coffret fermé ou sur une étagère.
Si l’appareil est posé sur un coffret ou une étagère, la température doit
être maintenue en dessous de 40°C.

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 la pluie 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 soi-même. 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.

Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de service de l’appareil:

1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 120 V/220-240V 50/60 Hz CA. Le
fait d’utiliser l’appareil en continu à des tensions de ligne supérieures à 120/
220-240 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. Débrancher l’appareil avant le nettoyage. Utiliser seulement un chiffon
doux et un détergent doux.
Des aérosols et produits de nettoyage disponibles dans le commerce
risquent d’endommager l’écran et le coffret.

6.Ne pas empiler les unités les unes sur les autres, afin

endommager.

Operation

Power

This section describes how to select a computer or video source and how to
adjust the picture and sound.

General Controls

Before you turn on your MultiSync XV29 Plus monitor ensure that the
computer or video source is turned on.
To adjust:

1. Turn On The Monitor
The power button is on the front panel of the monitor. By turning this
switch on, the POWER/STANDBY indicator will turn to green and the
monitor will become ready to use. OSM is also usable from the front
bezel.
After you press the POWER OFF button SOURCE SELECT on the
remote control, the monitor will go into its standby mode and the
POWER/STANDBY indicator will glow red.

2. Select The Computer Or Video Source
Press the “VIDEO 1” or “VIDEO 2” (VCR, document camera, or laser
disc player), or “RGB 1” or ” RGB 2”(computer) button on the remote
control to display the image. Or press the button on the front panel to

21

select your video source: “VIDEO 1”, “VIDEO 2”, “RGB 1”, or “RGB
2”.

NOTE 1: In the U.S.A. the standard video signal format is NTSC, therefore make
sure that the AUTO or NTSC is selected on OSM system control menu. See page

40.

NOTE 2: Select the over scan mode for VIDEO display.

3. Adjust The Raster or The Picture Control.
You can adjust the raster such as the horizontal size, vertical size or side
pincushion correction, and the brightness and contrast of the image with
the remote control.

4. Turning Off The monitor.
Press the POWER OFF button on the remote control or press the POWER
button on the front panel.

Degaussing

The earth's magnetic field and other magnetic sources can magnetize a color
picture tube causing patches of impure colors. This monitor automatically
demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds each time the monitor is
switched on. Sometimes during transportation a severe magnetic field can be
encountered which may require demagnetizing to clear the problem. Also, if
powered on for extended periods of time, magnetic fields can be produced by

the CRT itself, causing color impurities. In these cases, use the DEGAUSS
key once to demagnetize the picture tube. Pressing this key once
demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds.
CAUTION: Please allow a minimum of 30 minutes to elapse between uses
of the DEGAUSS key, when not switching from mode to mode. Do not hold
the key down continuously to avoid decreasing the life of the degauss
circuitry.

Using OSM Controls

Service and Support Policies

NEC Technologies is committed to providing the highest quality service and support for your
MultiSync presentation monitor. A customer service group that is dedicated to the support of
this product line is available to provide a single point of contact for technical support, trouble
shooting, service and repair issues.

Please address all questions concerning the following subjects to the phone number listed
below:

For technical support or any questions concerning the operation of this product.

To arrange for on-site repair service during the warranty period or after its expiration.

For the location of your nearest authorized NEC service center.

To report a DOA product and verify its status for return authorization.

1-800-836-0655

Due to the size and weight of large screen presentation monitor products, it is preferable to
solve problems on-site rather than to incur the expense and risk of damage in return shipping.
NECís service policies and procedures make it as effortless as possible for you to receive factory
authorized and trained service at your location.

On-site Service/Repair Policy

NEC offers on-site service and repair for all of our MultiSync presentation monitor products of 29''
and larger screen size. Warranty repair is provided by our service-authorized Visual Systems
Division Dealers and network of factory-trained independent service providers. If you are
experiencing a problem with your monitor, please contact the authorized NEC Visual Systems
Division dealer from which it was purchased. If this is a reseller who is unable to provide service,
call NEC directly at 1-800-836-0655.

DOA Policy

A product is considered DOA if it fails to function according to current published specifications
because of defects in NECTECH factory materials and/or workmanship during the first 30 days
from the date of purchase by the end user. After the 30 day period any defective product will
be considered a warranty repair.

A product is NOT considered DOA if it is functional but the box is damaged or it is missing
contents such as manuals, cables, etc.

NECTECH reserves the right to repair rather than replace any product.

Eligibility/Return for Exchange Procedure

If a product is suspected of being DOA, customers must call NECTECH VSD Technical Support.
A representative will assist in making the product fully functional or verify it as a DOA.

VSD Technical Support 1-800-836-0655
NEC technical support will provide a procedure for repair instead of exchange.

If the product is determined to be DOA, the Technical Support Representative will request the
following information in order to issue a Material Return Authorization (MRA) number:

Product model number
Serial number
A complete description of the problem

If approved, an MRA number and return address will be issued. All product to be returned must
be shipped freight pre-paid in its original carton to a designated NECTECH facility. The
customer assumes the risk of loss. The defective product must be received by NECTECH within
21 calendar days from the date the MRA was issued.

Any questions concerning service and repair policies or procedures can also be addressed in
writing to:
