PLASMA MONITOR
Important Information
Warnings and Safety Precaution
The NEC plasma monitor is designed and manufactured to pro-
vide long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other than clean-
ing 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 care-
fully 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. 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.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

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 pe-
riod of time, can result in phosphor burn if proper precautions are
not taken. To protect your investment in this NEC plasma moni-
tor, please adhere to the following guidelines and recommenda-
tions 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 opera-
tion, use the functions available in AccuShield to reduce the likeli-
hood 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.
Contact NEC Technologies at 1-800-836-0655 for other recom-
mended procedures that will best suit your particular application
needs.
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued op-
eration 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 sun-
light.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal ob-
jects. 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 recom-
mended 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.

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 de-
hors 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 cel-
lules 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 ven-
tilation 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, assurez-vous 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 modi-
fier 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.

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 com-
bustion 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 phos-
phore 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 In-
verse 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 gradua-
tions 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.
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.

■
Precautions in Normal Mode
There are marked differences in brightness between the display portions
and non-display portions (where there is no image) in [NORMAL] mode
which result in image burn-in due to the strong contrast. In view of this,
the following settings are strongly recommended.
Note that image burn-in will still occur, though somewhat later, even after
making these settings and that burn-in cannot be suppressed. The moni-
tor should be used in [FULL] mode as much as possible.
1. Perform gray level settings to narrow the differences in brightness be-
tween display and non-display portions of the image. (See P.46)
2. Weaken the image adjustment contrast and brightness. (See P.28)
3. Perform the Long Life settings. (P.45)
■
Copyright
Please note that using this monitor for the purpose of commercial gain or
the attraction of public attention in a venue such as a coffee shop or hotel
and employing compression or expansion of the screen image with a
wide screen setting (of FULL, ZOOM, or STADIUM) raises concern about
the infringement of copyright rights which are protected by copyright law.
■
Screen Size and the Original Image
This monitor is equipped with a wide variety of wide screen settings. Se-
lection of a screen size that differs with the image aspect ratio (i.e., the
ratio of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the screen) of the video
tape or other software will produce differences in appearance with re-
spect to the original image. Please keep this point in mind when selecting
the screen size.

■
Gray Level Settings
The gray level can be set to suit the level of gray brightness desired by the
user.
There are marked differences in brightness between the display portions
and non-display portions (where there is no image) in [NORMAL] mode
which result in image burn-in due to strong contrast. In view of this, the
following settings are strongly recommended.
Note that image burn-in will still occur, though somewhat later, even after
making these settings and that burn-in cannot be suppressed. The moni-
tor should be used in [FULL] mode as much as possible.
1. Perform gray level settings to narrow the differences in brightness be-
tween display and non-display portions of the image.
2. Weaken the image adjustment contrast and brightness. (See P.28)
3. Perform the Long Life settings. (P.45)

For ACK, when bit 2 and bit 3 are both “1”, reception of a sup-
ported command or data is indicated. When bit 2 is “0”, reception
of an unsupported command or data is indicated.
Bit 0 and bit 1 should be set as described below.

Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK
1)Checks that received data incorporates both the following
checksum and RS-232C (odd) parity.
The checksum comprises the following aspects of one transmit-
ted or received frame: Command 1, Unit 1 and 2, Command 2,
data length, and the lower order 8 bits of the total data.
2)Error Processing
(1) When the communications interval is 4 ms or greater, the
arrival of a subsequent Command 1 will be recognized. If
meaningful data cannot be discerned at this time, that data
will not be recognized.
(2) When the receive data error, checksum error, and the re-
ceive data could not all be taken in, ACK is not returned.
3)Returning an ACK
When command processing exceeds 0.5 seconds following
command reception, an ACK1 for which bit 3 of Command 1
has been set to “0” (during command processing) is returned
every 0.5 seconds until command processing is completed.
When command processing is completed, an ACK2 for which
bit 3 of Command 1 has been set to “1” (at the end of command
processing) is returned every 0.5 seconds until command pro-
cessing is completed. Bit 1 of Command 1 is set to 0 ; when the
UA2 setting is FFH, it is possible to simultaneously operate all
sets connected in cascade and as a result, ACK is not returned.
Communications Flow
When various commands are sent from a personal computer (PC)
or other external equipment, the display is always ready to receive
them.
Note that resending of the command is recommended when an
ACK is not returned from the display within 1.5 seconds.

Signal Identification For Raster Preset
Appendix
*1 Convert to 640 dots x 480 lines and display.
*2 These signals cannot be displayed in the RGB3 input mode.
*3 The picture will be shaky when the moving images of video games, etc., are input. (In this case set the refresh rate to 60 kHz or less.)
*4 Only when using an I-O DATA graphic accelerator board.
*5 Use a separately sold signal adapter (mini D-Sub 15-pin) when connecting to a Macintosh computer.
For some models, make the mini D-Sub 15-pin connection using the included RGB signal cable.
These signals are Sync On Green.
*6 Make the settings to display these signals. The signals will not be displayed properly unless the correct settings are made.
NOTE:
* Input of a VGA or W-VGA signal is recommended because the display resolution is 853 x 480 pixels.
For other cases, conversion is made to 640 dots x 480 lines or 853 dots x 480 lines.
* 852 dot by 480 line signals are displayed with this resolution.
* 848 dot by 480 line signals are displayed at a resolution of 848 dots by 480 lines when "NORMAL" is selected, and converted to 853 dots by 480 lines when "FULL"
is selected.
* At the time of video input, video signals derived from poor recording conditions may create poor images.
* The sync may be disturbed when non-standard signals other than the aforementioned are input.
* Multiple screens (2 screens) can only display signals having an aspect ratio of 4:3. *3 Cannot be used with multiple screens.
* With digital inputs some signals are not accepted.
