Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in
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).
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:
Close the lid tightly until the clamps click.
Use the band to secure the ferrite core.
DVI cable (not supplied)

* 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.

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.
* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much as
possible without impairing image readability. (See page
24, 29)
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not
drop.
* 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.
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.
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,
sharply defined borders between colors.
Contact NEC Technologies at 1-800-836-0655 for other
recommended procedures that will best suit your particu-
lar application needs.

Pour éviter le risque de combustion au phosphore, les
mesures suivantes sont recommandées :
REMARQUE:
Lorsque vous branchez un micro-ordinateur sur ce
moniteur, fixez les noyaux en ferrites fournis. Si vous
ne le faîtes, le moniteur ne sera pas en conformité avec
les exigences des standards FCC.
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 :
Fixation des noyaux en ferrite.
Installez les noyaux en ferrite sur chaque bout du câble
DVI (non fourni), ainsi que sur un côté du câble
d’alimentation électrique (fourni).
Fermez doucement le couvercle jusqu’à ce que les
crans se clipsent.
Utilisez le collier plastique pour fixer la tore en ferrite.
Câble DVI (non fourni)
connecteur
• 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 moniteurs est en usage continu ou longue
durée, prenez les mesures suivantes afin d'éviter l'occurence
de combustion au phosphore :
Collier plastique
côté de l’appareil
(côté du moniteur à plasma)
• 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.
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.
• 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.
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. 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.

Power Management Function
The power management function is an energy saving function that automatically reduces the power consumption of the
display when the keyboard or the mouse have not been used for a fixed period. The power management function of the
display becomes operational when the monitor is used with a personal computer based on the VESA DPMS and DVI
DMPM system.
When preparing to display a personal computer screen, check that the personal computer is properly connected to this unit
and that the personal computer power is on.
When the personal computer power is off, the power management function will be activated and this unit will be set to the
off mode.
For information about the power management setting method, see the operating system (OS) manual of the personal
computer you are using. To see the video when the power management function is operating, setting the input selection to
video will switch the function off.
Power Management Modes
There are three modes in the power management function.
* Standby mode
The standby mode is set when the horizontal sync signal from the personal computer is not input.
The image will be displayed immediately upon the input of the horizontal sync signal.
* Suspend mode
The suspend mode is set when the vertical sync signal from the personal computer is not input.
The image will be displayed about 4 seconds after the input of the vertical sync signal.
* Off mode
This unit is set to the off mode when the horizontal/vertical sync signals from the personal computer are not input.
The image will be displayed about 4 seconds after the input of the horizontal/vertical sync signal.
This is the only power management mode using RGB3 input. When there is no TMDS link, the off mode is set. (This
power state is equivalent to the DPMS “off” state.) Displayed approximately 4 seconds after the TMDS link is restored.
The color in which the STANDBY/POWER lamp lights indicates the mode (listed below) in which the unit is set.

Ad ju st m e n t o f t h e Disp la y
There are two methods of adjusting the screen/image using
the remote control. One way is direct adjustment by
pressing the various buttons and displaying the desired
adjustment screens. The other way is to select the menu
and display the adjustment screen. This is the menu control
adjustment.
The main unit enters the standby mode when the AC cable
is plugged in.
This section describes how to select a computer or video
source and how to adjust the picture.
G e n e r a l Co n t r o ls
Before you turn on your plasma monitor ensure that the
computer or video source is turned on.
1)To adjust:
1. Turn On The Monitor
When Using the Power Management Function
This unit is designed for use with power management
function of the VESA DPMS and DVI DMPM system.
When connected with a personal computer or other
equipment incorporating the power management software,
power consumption is reduced while the monitor is not
being used. During power management operation, the
STANDBY/POWER lamp changes color to orange or
yellow.
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 panel.
After you press the POWER OFF button on the remote
control, the monitor will go into its standby mode and the
POWER/STANDBY indicator will glow orange.
* The fan may stop during power management operation.
This does not indicate a failure.
N O TE: The monitor is set to the standby mode
when the power cord is plugged in.
2. Select The Computer Or Video Source
Press the “VIDEO” or “RGB 1” “RGB 2” or “RGB
3”(computer) button on the remote control to display
the image. Or press the button on the front panel to
select your video source: “VIDEO”, “RGB 1”, “RGB
2” or “RGB 3”.
N O TE 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 41.
N O TE 2 : Select the over scan mode for VIDEO
display.
When the RGB input is used, the mode of the power
management function can only be in the off state.
In the absence of TMDS signal input, the unit will be
in the off state.
(The DVI standard DMPM Active-off power state is
equivalent to this.)
The picture will be projected about 4 seconds after
the TMDS signal input returns.
3. Adjust The Raster or The Picture Control.
You can adjust the raster such as the horizontal size,
vertical size and the brightness and contrast of the
image with the remote control.
4. Turning Off The monitor.

*1 Convert to 640 dots x 480 lines and display.
*2 These signals cannot be displayed in the RGB3 input mode.
*3 Display only 400 lines with the screen center of the vertical orientation located at the center.
*4 The picture will be shaky when the moving images of video games, etc., are input. (In this case set the refresh rate to 75 kHz or less.)
*5 Only when using an I/O DATA graphic accelerator board.
*6 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.
*7 Make the settings to display these signals. The signals will not be displayed properly unless the correct settings are made.
*The resolution deteriorates in comparison with the original image because the image of 640 dots x 480 lines is converted to 853 dots x 480 lines and displayed.
*At the time of video input, video signals derived from poor recording conditions may give rise to a disturbed screen image.
*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.
*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.

Check Sum (CKS), Error Processing, and ACK
Co m m u n ica t io n P a r a m e t e r s
1) Checks for receive data incorporate both the following
checksum and RS-232C (odd) parity.
(1) Communication system
(2) Interface
(3) Baud rate
(4) Data length
(5) Parity
(6) Stop bit

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 recog-
nized.
Command 1
Together with Command 2, this is a number that distin-
guishes the various commands.
For ACK, when bit 2 and bit 3 are both “1”, reception of a
supported command or data is indicated. When bit 2 is
“0”, reception of an unsupported command or data is in-
dicated.
(2) When the receive data error, checksum error, and
the receive data could not all be taken in, ACK is
not returned.
3) Returning an ACK
When command processing exceeds 0.5 seconds fol-
lowing 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 com-
mand processing is completed. When command pro-
cessing is completed, an ACK2 for which bit 3 of
Command 1 has been set to “1” (at the end of com-
mand processing) is returned every 0.5 seconds until
command processing is completed. Bit 1 of Command
1 is set to 0 ; when the UA2 setting is FFH, it becomes
possible to simultaneously operate all sets connected
in cascade and as a result, ACK is not returned.
Bit 0 and bit 1 should be set as described below.

sets ID (1 through 4) when multiple screens are se-
lected, and to 1 through 256 at the time of set ID selec-
tion. “00H” must be output when the ID is not set.
2) Unit ID2: Makes settings on the occasion of simulta-
neously operating all sets connected in cascade at the
time of multiple screen mode and at the time of set ID
selection.

Command 2
Together with Command 1, this is a number that distin-
guishes the various commands.
When various commands are sent from a personal com-
puter (PC) or other external equipment, the display is al-
ways 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.
