THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING
THE MULTISYNC LCD COLOUR MONITOR:
•
DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
•
•
Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.
Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful
or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure.
•
•
Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire.
Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage to
the monitor.
•
The power supply cord you use must have been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country.
(Type H05VV-F 3G 0.75mm2 should be used in Europe).
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
In U.K, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (5A) fuse installed for use with this monitor.
Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.
The lamps in this product contain mercury. Please dispose according to state, local or federal law.
Do not bend, crimp or otherwise damage the power cord.
Do not use monitor in high temperatured, humid, dusty, or oily areas.
Do not cover vent on monitor.
Do not touch LCD panel surface while transporting, mounting and setting. Applying pressure on the LCD panel can cause
serious damage.
•
To prevent damage to the LCD monitor caused by tipping over due to earthquakes or other shocks, make sure to install
the monitor in a stable location and take measures to prevent falling.
Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.
If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.
If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.
If glass is broken, handle with care.
If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.
•
Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissipate.
Do not block ventilated openings or place the monitor near a radiator or other heat
sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor.
CAUTION
•
The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the
power supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet which is easily
accessible.
•
•
•
Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.
Carry the monitor holding the built-in handle and bottom frames of the monitor.
Do not carry holding only the stand.
•
Image Persistence: Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence.
Image Persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike
CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period
of time should be avoided. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was
displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be
turned off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends displaying moving images and
using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.
English-3
CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN
REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE
FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:
•
•
For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.
Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level.
Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
•
Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm from your
eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm.
•
•
Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away. Blink often.
Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare
and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
•
•
•
•
If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.
Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.
Use a document holder placed close to the screen.
Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to minimize
turning your head while you are typing.
•
•
Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).
Get regular eye checkups.
Ergonomics
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears.
Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.
Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
Use the preset Colour Setting.
Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-75 Hz.
Do not use primary colour blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue to insufficient
contrast.
Cleaning the LCD Panel
•
•
•
•
When the liquid crystal panel is stained with dust or dirt, please wipe with soft cloth gently.
Please do not rub the LCD panel with hard material.
Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.
Please do not use OA cleaner it will cause deterioration or discolor on the LCD surface.
Cleaning the Cabinet
•
•
•
Unplug the power supply
Gently wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth
To clean the cabinet, dampen the cloth with a neutral detergent and water, wipe the cabinet and follow with a dry cloth.
NOTE:
Many plastics are used on the surface of the cabinet. DO NOT clean with benzene, thinner, alkaline detergent,
alcoholic system detergent, glass cleaner, wax, polish cleaner, soap powder, or insecticide. Do not touch rubber or
vinyl to the cabinet for a long time. These types of fluids and fabrics can cause the paint to deteriorate, crack or
peel.

*1 Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel count of the LCD module, text may appear different. This is
normal and necessary for all current flat panel technologies when displaying non-native resolutions full screen. In flat panel technologies, each dot on
the screen is actually one pixel, so to expand resolutions to full screen, an interpolation of the resolution must be done.
NOTE:
Technical specifications are subject to change without notice.

Troubleshooting
No picture
•
•
•
•
The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer.
The display card should be completely seated in its slot.
Front Power Switch and computer power switch should be in the ON position.
Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used.
(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)
•
•
Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended settings.
Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.
Power Button does not respond
Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.
•
Image Persistence
•
Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Image
Persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT
monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period of
time should be avoided. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was
displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should
be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE:
As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends displaying moving images and using
a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.
Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent
•
Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
•
Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing the fine total. When the
display mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.
•
•
Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.
If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 60Hz refresh rate.
LED on monitor is not lit (no blue or amber colour can be seen)
Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.
•
Display image is not sized properly
•
Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the H. SIZE.
