PlasmaSync Plasma Monitor

User’s Manual

Important InformationWarnings and Safety PrecautionThe NEC plasma monitor is designed and manufac-tured to provide long, trouble-free service. No main-tenance other than cleaning is required. Use a softdry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents suchas 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 orremain 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 aclosed cabinet or shelves.The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you installthe unit in an enclosure, be sure there is adequate spaceat the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape.If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protectorwill be activated and the monitor will be turned off. Ifthis happens, turn off the power to the monitor and un-plug the power cord. If the room where the monitor isinstalled is particularly hot, move the monitor to a coolerlocation, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 min-utes. If the problem persists, contact your NEC dealerfor service.

2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with exten-sion cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completelyinserted.

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 notliable 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.

PrecautionsPlease read this manual carefully before using your NECplasma monitor and keep the manual handy for future ref-erence.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKDO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICSHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NOUSER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIEDSERVICE PERSONNEL.

This symbol warns the user that uninsulatedvoltage within the unit may have sufficientmagnitude to cause electric shock. There-fore, it is dangerous to make any kind ofcontact with any part inside of this unit.

This symbol alerts the user that importantliterature concerning the operation andmaintenance of this unit has been included.Therefore, it should be read carefully inorder to avoid any problems.

WARNINGTO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSETHIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. ALSO DO NOT USETHIS UNIT'S POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORDRECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLETS, UNLESS THE PRONGSCAN BE FULLY INSERTED. REFRAIN FROM OPENING THECABINET AS THERE ARE HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENTSINSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PER-SONNEL.

WARNINGThis equipment has been tested and found to comply withthe limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 ofthe FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide rea-sonable protection against harmful interference when theequipment is operated in a commercial environment. Thisequipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequencyenergy and, if not installed and used in accordance withthe instruction manual, may cause harmful interference toradio communications. Operation of this equipment in a resi-dential area is likely to cause harmful interference in whichcase the user will be required to correct the interference athis own expense.

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 VoltsAC will shorten the life of the unit, and might evencause a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do notdrop.

3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and directsunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and smallmetal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit andhave it serviced by an authorized NEC Service Center.

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causesflaws 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 aCRT monitor, for example) light output will graduallydecrease 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 gasplasma displays, plasma monitors can be susceptible tophosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certainoperating conditions, such as the continuous display of astatic image over a prolonged period of time, can result inphosphor burn if proper precautions are not taken. To pro-tect your investment in this NEC plasma monitor, pleaseadhere to the following guidelines and recommendationsfor minimizing the occurrence of image burn:

* Always enable and use your computer's screen saverfunction 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 plasma monitor is in long term use or continuousoperation take the following measures to reduce thelikelihood of phosphor burn:

* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much aspossible 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 lightand dark areas, for example white characters on blackbackgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color when-ever possible.

* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,sharply defined borders between colors.

Contact NEC Technologies at 1-800-836-0655 for otherrecommended procedures that will best suit your particu-lar application needs.
