PlasmaSync Plasma Monitor
User’s Manual
NEC Technologies
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.
Contact NEC Technologies at 1-800-836-0655 for other
recommended procedures that will best suit your particu-
lar application needs.
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.

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.
Ce symbole a pour but de prévenir l’utilisateur de la

AVERTISSEMENT
Cet équipement a été testé et certifié conforme avec les limi-
tations des équipements numériques de Classe A,
conformément à l'article & (du règlement FCC. Ces limites sont
conçues pour assurer une protection raisonnable contre les
interférences nuisibles lorsque l'équipement est utilisé en mi-
lieu commercial. Cet équipement génère, utilise, et peut
produire de l'énergie de fréquence radio et, s'il n'est pas installé
et utilisé selon le manuel d'instruction, peut provoquer des
interférences nuisibles aux communications radio. L'utilisation
de cet équipement dans une zone résidentielle est suscepti-
ble de provoquer des interférences nuisibles, dans quel cas
l'utilisateur est tenu de remédier à ces interférences à ses frais.
Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de
service de l’appareil:
• 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.
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. 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 4205W est en usage continu ou longue
durée, prenez les mesures suivantes afin d'éviter l'occurence
de combustion au phosphore :

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 4205W 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.

• 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.

Running Sense
The PlasmaSync 4205W 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 4205W is
always receive enabled.
Note that when an ACK has not been returned from the PlasmaSync 4205W in 1.5 seconds, a resending of the command is
recommended.
