Warnings and Safety Precaution
The NEC PlasmaSync 5000W is designed and manu-
factured to provide long, trouble-free service. No main-
tenance 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 ele-
ments (cells). Although NEC produces the plasma dis-
play 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 inter-
nal 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 un-
plug 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 min-
utes. If the problem persists, contact your NEC dealer
for service.
2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with exten-
sion 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 danger-
ous high voltage components inside. If the unit is dam-
aged 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 unquali-
fied persons attempt service or open the back cover.
Refer all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.

DOC compliance Notice
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of
the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
WARNING
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residence installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the in-
structions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does not
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
CAUTION
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Con-
tinued 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 rec-
ommended 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, PlasmaSync 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 pro-
tect your investment in this NEC PlasmaSync monitor,
please adhere to the following guidelines and recommen-
dations 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.
If the PlasmaSync monitor is in long term use or continu-
ous 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 when-
ever possible.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.

recommended procedures that will best suit your particu-
lar application needs.
Mises en garde et précautions de
sécurité
Le moniteur multimédia NEC PlasmaSync 5000W 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 éviter
d'endommager l'appareil, lire attentivement les in-
structions 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, 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 pro-
tection 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 ten-
sion 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

gences du Réglement sur le Matériel Brouilleur du Canada.
ATTENTION
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 serv-
ice 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 condi-
tions d'utilisation, telles que l'affichage continu d'une im-
age 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 :
• 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.
Si le PlasmaSync 5000W 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.

Connecting Your PC Or Macintosh
Computer
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your
PlasmaSync 5000W will enable you to display your
computer's screen image for an impressive presentation. The
PlasmaSync 5000W supports the signals described on page
50.
To connect to a PC, Macintosh or compatible graphics
adapter, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your PlasmaSync 5000W and

If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will
need to install an XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board. Con-
sult your computer's owner's manual for your XGA/SVGA/
VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see
the manual that comes with your new graphics board for
installation instructions.
3. The PlasmaSync 5000W provides signal compatibility up
to VESA 1280⳯1024@85Hz (SXGA). However, some
signals are only displayed in the normal mode (5:4). See
page 50 for more details.
4. Use the signal cable that's supplied to connect your PC or
Macintosh computer to the PlasmaSync 5000W. For
Macintosh, use the supplied monitor adapter to connect
to your computer's video port.
5. Turn on the PlasmaSync 5000W and the computer.
6. If the PlasmaSync 5000W goes blank after a period of
inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on
the computer you've connected to the PlasmaSync
5000W.
When using a Macintosh with the PlasmaSync 5000W, the
following four display standards are supported using the
included Macintosh adapter :
13" fixed mode

Check sum
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 PlasmaSync 5000W 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
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.
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 taken in.

Communications Flow
The PlasmaSync 5000W regularly transmits a Running Sense command at an interval of approximately 1 second.
(Running Sense command: 1FH 60H E0H 88H 00H E7H)
This command is used to recognize optional equipment. The return of an ACK is not required when external equipment
such as a personal computer has been connected.
Note that destruction of this data is recommended when it is taken in.
When various commands are to be sent from external equipment such as a personal computer, the PlasmaSync 5000W is
always receive enabled.
Note that when an ACK has not been returned from the PlasmaSync 5000W in 1.5 seconds, a resending of the command
is recommended.
