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.

Veuillez lire ce manuel avec attention avant d'utiliser votre  
PlasmaSync NEC - Moniteur Plasma 42 pouces PX-42M4A et con-  
server ce manuel à portée de la main pour une consultation ultérieure.  
Le moniteur multimédia NEC PlasmaSync 4205W a  
été conçu et fabriqué pour une utilisation fiable et  
durable. Il ne nécessite aucun entretien en dehors du  
nettoyage. Utiliser un chiffon doux et sec pour nettoyer  
la surface de l'écran. Ne jamais utiliser de solvant

RISQUE D’ELECTROCUTION  
NE PAS OUVRIR  
MISE EN GARDE:  
AFIN DE REDUIRE LES RISQUES D’ELECTRO-  
CUTION, NE PAS DEPOSER LE COUVERCLE, IL N’Y  
A AUCUNE PIECE UTILISABLE A L’INTERIEUR DE  
CET APPAREIL. NE CONFIER LES TRAVAUX  
D’ENTRETIEN QU’A UN PERSONNEL QUALIFIE.  
Pour éviter les risques d'éléctrocution et d'incendie:  
1. Laisser suffisament d'espace autour de l'appareil pour  
la ventilation et éviter toute augmentation excessive de  
la température interne. Ne pas couvrir les évents ou  
l'installer dans un endroit trop exigu.  
Ce symbole a pour but de prévenir l’utilisateur de la  
présence d’une tension dangereuse, non isolée se trouvant  
à l’intérieur de l’appareil. Elle est d’une intensité suffisante  
pour constituer un risque d’électrocution. Eviter le con-  
tact avec les pièces à l’intérieur de cet appareil.  
L'appareil est équipé de ventilateurs de refroidissement.  
Si vous installez l'appareil dans un espace clos, assurez-  
vous qu'il y ait suffisamment d'espace au dessus pour  
permettre à l'air chaud de s'élever et de s'évacuer.  
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  
présence d’importantes instructions concernant l’entretien  
et le fonctionnement de cet appareil. Par conséquent, elles  
doivent être lues attentivement afin d’éviter des problèmes.

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 :

Check sum  
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.

2) Error Processing  
• 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  
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.
