Safety Precautions and Maintenance
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE THE
FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING
THE MULTISYNC® LCD COLOR 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.
• 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.
• 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 cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from
the power supply. The monitor should be installed close to a power outlet that
is easily accessible.
• When operating the MultiSync LCD monitor with its AC220-240V worldwide
power supply, use a power supply cord that matches the power supply voltage of
the AC power outlet being used. The power supply cord you use must have been
approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country.
• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.
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.

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 16 inches and no further away than
28 inches from your eyes. The optimal distance is 21 inches for the
MultiSync® LCD 400V™monitor.
• 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.
• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using
any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!
• 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.

Interpolated Resolutions: When resolutions are shown that are lower than the pixel count of the LCD module, text may
appear choppy or lines may appear to be bold. 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. When the interpolated resolution is not
an exact multiple of the native resolution, the mathematical interpolation necessary may cause some lines to appear thicker
than others.
NOTE: Technical specifications are subject to change without notice.

Features
Analog Advantage: Capable of displaying unlimited colors in a continuous
spectrum, providing a truer representation of color. The monitor’s high contrast
LCD enhances color vibrancy and improves focus with no geometric distortion.
Wider Compatibility: Because the MultiSync LCD monitor is analog through and
through, it does not require special analog to digital display or interface cards
but can accept RGB input directly.
Reduced Footprint: Provides the ideal solution for environments requiring
superior image quality but with size and weight limitations. The monitor’s small
footprint and low weight allow it to be moved or transported easily from one
location to another.
AccuColor® Control System: Allows you to adjust the colors on your screen and
customize the color accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.
OSM™ (On-Screen Manager) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all
elements of your screen image via simple to use on-screen menus.
ErgoDesign® Features: Enhance human ergonomics to improve the working
environment, protect the health of the user and save money. Examples include
OSM controls for quick and easy image adjustments, tilt/swivel base for pre-
ferred angle of vision, small footprint and compliance with MPRII guidelines for
lower emissions.
Plug and Play: The Microsoft® solution with the Windows®95 operating system
facilitates setup and installation by allowing the monitor to send its capabilities
(such as screen size and resolutions supported) directly to your computer, auto-
matically optimizing display performance.
IPM™ (Intelligent Power Manager) System: Provides innovative power-saving
methods that allow the monitor to shift to a lower power consumption level when
on but not in use, saving two-thirds of your monitor energy costs, reducing
emissions and lowering the air conditioning costs of the workplace.
Multiple Frequency Technology: Automatically adjusts monitor to the display
card’s scanning frequency, thus displaying the resolution required.
FullScan™ Capability: Allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolu-
tions, significantly expanding image size.

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.
• 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.
Image persistence
• Image persistence is when a “ghost” of an image remains on the screen even
after the monitor has been turned off. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’
image persistence is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn the
monitor off for as long as an image was displayed. If an image was on the
monitor for one hour and a ”ghost” of that image remains, the monitor
should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC Technologies recommends
using a screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.
Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent
• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
• Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by
increasing or decreasing the fine total. When the display mode is changed,
the OSM Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.
• Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility
and recommended signal timings.
LED on monitor is not lit (no green or amber color can be seen)
• Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should
be connected.
• Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the
keyboard or mouse).
Display image has a green cast to it
• Open OSM Display Mode and press the “+” Control button.
Display image is not sized properly
• Use the OSM Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the Coarse total.
• 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.)
Selected resolution is not displayed properly
• Use OSM Display Mode to enter Mode Change sub-menu and confirm that
the appropriate resolution has been selected. If not, select corresponding
option.
