Mises en garde et précautions de sécurité  
Les moniteurs MultiSync Multimédia XP29 Plus et XM29 Plus de NEC ont été  
conçus et fabriqués pour assurer une longue durée de service sans  
problèmes. Aucun entretien à l’exception du nettoyage n’est nécessaire.  
Utiliser un chiffon doux et un détergent doux, si nécessaire. Ne pas utiliser  
des aérosols de nettoyage du commerce qui risquent d’endommager la  
surface de cet appareil. Si l’appareil est endommagé, confier les travaux  
de réparation à un centre de service agréé NEC.  
5. Débrancher l’appareil pendant les tempêtes ou si l’appareil n’est pas  
utilisé pendant une longue période.  
6. Ne pas ouvrir le coffret. Des composants de haute tension se trouvent à  
l’intérieur. Si l’appareil est endommagé de cette manière, la garantie  
devient caduque. De plus, il y a risque d’électrocution.  
7. Ne pas essayer de réparer ou entretenir l’appareil soi-même. NEC ne saura  
être tenu pour responsable pour toute blessure ou dommage causé par  
des personnes non qualifiées qui essayent de réparer ou d’ouvrir le  
couvercle arrière. Confier toute réparation à un centre de service agréé  
NEC.  
Pour un fonctionnement sûr et afin d’éviter d’endommager l’appareil, lire  
attentivement et respecter les instructions suivantes.  
Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de service de l’appareil:  
Afin d’éviter tout risque d’électrocution et d’incendie:  
1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 100-120 V/220-240V 50/60 Hz  
CA. Le fait d’utiliser l’appareil en continu à des tensions de ligne  
supérieures à 100-120/220-240 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 service agréé NEC.  
5. Débrancher l’appareil avant le nettoyage. Utiliser seulement un chiffon  
doux et un détergent doux.  
1. Réserver un espace libre suffisant pour la ventilation afin d’éviter une  
accumulation de chaleur interne. Ne pas couvrir les trous d’aération  
arrière ou installer l’appareil dans un coffret fermé ou sur une étagère.  
L’appareil est équipé d’ailettes de refroidissement sur le dessus. Si  
l’appareil est logé dans un coffret ou sur une étagère, s’assurer qu’il y a  
un espace libre suffisant pour la dissipation de la chaleur. Si l’appareil est  
posé sur un coffret ou une étagère, la température doit être maintenue  
en dessous de 40°C.  
2. Ne pas utiliser la fiche polarisée du cordon d’alimentation avec des  
prolongateurs ou des prises de courant, sauf si les lames peuvent être  
insérées à fond.  
3. Ne pas exposer à la pluie ou à l’humidité.  
4. Eviter d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation, et ne pas modifier le  
cordon d’alimentation.  
Des aérosols et produits de nettoyage disponibles dans le commerce  
risquent d’endommager l’écran et le coffret.  
6.Ne pas empiler les unités les unes sur les autres, afin d’éviter de les  
endommager.

Degaussing  
1. Turn On The Monitor  
The earth's magnetic field and other magnetic sources can magnetize a color  
picture tube causing patches of impure colors. This monitor automatically  
demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds each time the monitor is switched  
on. Sometimes during transportation a severe magnetic field can be  
encountered which may require demagnetizing to clear the problem. Also, if  
powered on for extended periods of time, magnetic fields can be produced by  
the CRT itself, causing color impurities. In these cases, use the DEGAUSS  
key once to demagnetize the picture tube. Pressing this key once  
demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds.  
The power button is on the front panel of the monitor. By turning this switch on,  
the STANDBY/POWER indicator will turn to green and the monitor will  
become ready to use. OSM is also usable from the front bezel.  
After you press the POWER OFF button on the remote control, the monitor will  
go into its standby mode and the STANDBY/POWER indicator will glow red.

On-site Service/Repair Policy  
Service and Support Policies  
NEC offers on-site service and repair for all of our MultiSync presentation monitor products of 29"  
and larger screen size. Warranty repair is provided by our service-authorized Visual Systems  
Division Dealers and network of factory-trained independent service providers. If you are  
experiencing a problem with your monitor, please contact the authorized NEC Visual Systems  
Division dealer from which it was purchased. If this is a reseller who is unable to provide service, call  
NEC directly at 1-800-836-0655.  
NEC Technologies is committed to providing the highest quality service and support for your  
MultiSync presentation monitor. A customer service group that is dedicated to the support of  
this product line is available to provide a single point of contact for technical support, trouble  
shooting, service and repair issues.  
Please address all questions concerning the following subjects to the phone number listed  
below:  
DOA Policy  
For technical support or any questions concerning the operation of this product.  
To arrange for on-site repair service during the warranty period or after its expiration.  
For the location of your nearest authorized NEC service center.  
A product is considered DOA if it fails to function according to current published specifications  
because of defects in NECTECH factory materials and/or workmanship during the first 30 days from  
the date of purchase by the end user. After the 30 day period any defective product will be  
considered a warranty repair.  
To report a DOA product and verify its status for return authorization.  
A product is NOT considered DOA if it is functional but the box is damaged or it is missing contents  
such as manuals, cables, etc.  
1-800-836-0655  
NECTECH reserves the right to repair rather than replace any product.  
Due to the size and weight of large screen presentation monitor products, it is preferable to  
solve problems on-site rather than to incur the expense and risk of damage in return shipping.  
NECís service policies and procedures make it as effortless as possible for you to receive factory  
authorized and trained service at your location.  
Eligibility/Return for Exchange Procedure  
If a product is suspected of being DOA, customers must call NECTECH VSD Technical Support.  
A representative will assist in making the product fully functional or verify it as a DOA.  
VSD Technical Support 1-800-836-0655  
NEC technical support will provide a procedure for repair instead of exchange.  
If the product is determined to be DOA, the Technical Support Representative will request the  
following information in order to issue a Material Return Authorization (MRA) number:  
Product model number  
Serial number  
A complete description of the problem  
If approved, an MRA number and return address will be issued. All product to be returned must  
be shipped freight pre-paid in its original carton to a designated NECTECH facility. The  
customer assumes the risk of loss. The defective product must be received by NECTECH within  
21 calendar days from the date the MRA was issued.  
Any questions concerning service and repair policies or procedures can also be addressed in  
writing to:
