NOTE:

When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this monitor will not comform to mandatory FCC standards. Attaching the ferrite cores.

Set the ferrite cores on the both ends of the DVI cable (not supplied), and the one end of the power cable (sup- plied).

Close the lid tightly until the clamps click.

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.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.

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 op- eration, use the functions available in AccuShield to re- duce the likelihood of perceptible phosphor burn or to di- minish its perceptible effects if it occurs. See pages 42,44 and 45 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. (See page 24, 29)

*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.
