Safety Precautions and Maintenance  
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE  
THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND  
USING THE 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.  
Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.  
The inside of the fluorescent tube located within the LCD monitor contains mercury.  
Please follow the bylaws or rules of your municipality to dispose of the tube properly.  
Do not bend power cord.  
Do not use monitor in high temperatured, humid, dusty, or oily areas.  
Do not cover vent on monitor.  
If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.  
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.  
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.  
Image Persistence: Image persistence is 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 using a moving screen saver at regular  
intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.

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.  
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.  
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 more than 60 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.

*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.

Features  
Ambix Technology: Dual input technology allowing both analog and digital inputs off of one connector (DVI-I) as well as  
additional legacy analog support off of a traditional 15-pin mini D-SUB connector. Provides traditional MultiSync technology  
compatibility for analog as well as TMDS-based (Transition Minimized Differential Signalling) digital compatibility for digital  
inputs. TMDS-based digital interfaces include DVI-D, DFP and P&D.  
DVI-I: The integrated interface ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) that allows both digital and analog  
connectors off of one port. The “I” stands for integration for both digital and analog, The digital portion is DVI-based.  
DVI-D: The digital-only subset of DVI ratified by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for digital connections between  
computers and displays. As a digital-only connector, analog support is not provided off a DVI-D connector. As a DVI-based  
digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DVI-D and other DVI-based digital  
connectors such as DFP and P&D.  
DFP (Digital Flat Panel): An all-digital interface for flat panel monitors which is signal compatible with DVI. As a DVI-based  
digital only connection, only a simple adapter is necessary for compatibility between DFP and other DVI-based digital  
connectors such as DVI and P&D.  
P&D (Plug and Display): The VESA standard for digital flat panel monitor interfaces. It is more robust than DFP since it  
allows for other options off a signal connector (options like USB, analog video and IEEE-1394-995). The VESA committe has  
recognized that DFP is a subset of P&D. As a DVI-based connector (for the digital input pins), only a simple adapter is  
necessary for compatibility between P&D and other DVI-based digital connector such as DVI and DFP.  
Pivoting Stand: Allows users to adjust the monitor to the orientation that best fits their application, either Landscape  
orientation for wide documents, or portrait orientation for the ability to preview a full page on one screen at one time.  
The Portrait orientation is also perfect for full screen video conferencing.  
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.  
Colour Control Systems: Allows you to adjust the colours on your screen and customize the colour 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 base for preferred angle of vision,  
small footprint and compliance with MPRII and TCO guidelines for lower emissions.  
Plug and Play: The Microsoft® solution with the Windows® 95/98/2000/Me/XP 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, automatically 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 resolutions, significantly expanding image size.  
Wide Viewing Angle Technology: Allows the user to be able to see the monitor from any angle (178 degrees) from any  
orientation — Portrait or Landscape. Provides full 178° viewing angles either up, down, left or right.  
VESA Standard Mounting Interface: Allows users to connect their MultiSync monitor to any VESA standard third party  
mounting arm or bracket. Allows for the monitor to be mounted on a wall or an arm using any third party compliant device.  
NaViSet: Is a ground-breaking software family, developed by NEC Display Solutions Europe GmbH, providing intuitive access  
to all monitor setting controls and remote diagnosis via the Windows interface, based upon the VESA standard, DDC/CI. Using  
a standard VGA or DVI signal cable, NaViSet can either benefit single users or, with NaViSet Administrator, can reduce the  
Total Cost of Ownership through remote network-wide maintenance, diagnosis and asset-reporting.  
No-touch Auto Adjust (Analog input only): No-touch auto adjust automatically adjusts the monitor to optimal settings upon  
initial setup.  
sRGB Colour Control: A new optimized colour management standard which allows for colour matching on computer displays  
and other peripherals. The sRGB, which is based on the calibrated colour space, allows for optimal colour representation and  
backward compatibility with other common colour standards.  
Adjustable stand with pivot capability: Adds flexibility to your viewing preferences.  
Quick Release stand: Allows fast removal.  
AmbiBright technology: Automatically adjusts the backlight level depending on the level of ambient lighting.

The display card should be completely seated in its slot.  
Check the Vacation Switch should be in the ON position.  
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.  
Check the signal input “DVI-I” or “D-Sub”.  
Check the DVI-SELECTION “DIGITAL” or “ANALOG” in DVI-I input.  
If the front LED is dark green or dark blue, check the status of the IPM mode (see page 10).  
Power Button does not respond  
Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.  
Check the Vacation Switch on the back side of the monitor.  
Image Persistence  
Image persistence is 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 using a moving screen saver at  
regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.  
Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank or shows rough images only)  
Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSM warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signal  
clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.  
OSM warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed on a blank screen: Signal frequency is out of range. Choose one of the  
supported modes.  
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 readjusted.  
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 green, blue or amber colour can be seen)  
Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.  
Picture is not as bright  
Make sure ECO MODE and AUTO BRIGHTNESS are turned off.  
If the brightness fluctuates make sure AUTO BRIGHTNESS is turned off.  
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.)  
No Video  
If no video is present on the screen, turn the Power button off and on again.  
Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyboard or mouse).  
Self Diagnosis  
The LCD display is equipped with the ability to self diagnose abnormalities. When the LCD detects a problem, the LED  
on the front flashes in a pattern of long and short blinks, depending on the type of problem detected.

Using the Auto Brightness function  
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depending on the amount of ambient light within the  
room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim  
accordingly. The purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye in a variety of lighting  
conditions.  
The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by default.  
SETUP  
Use the following procedure to select the Brightness Range that the monitor will use when the Auto Brightness function is  
activated.  
1. Set the BRIGHT level. This is the brightness level that the monitor will go up to when the ambient light level is highest.  
Make sure the room is at its brightest when setting this level.  
Select “ON” in the AUTO BRIGHTNESS menu (Figure 1). Then use the front buttons to move the cursor up to the  
BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the desired brightness level (Figure 2).
