In UK, use a BS-approved power cord with molded plug having a black (13A) 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 power cord.  
Do not use monitor in very hot, humid, dusty, or oily areas.  
Temperature controlled fans are implemented in this monitor. For reliable performance and long useful life of this product,  
it is mandatory to not cover any vents on the monitor.  
Vibration can damage the backlight unit. Do not install where the monitor will be exposed to continual vibration.  
If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.  
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.  
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.  
Do not touch LCD panel surface while transporting, mounting and setting.  
Applying pressure on the LCD panel can cause serious damage.  
Carry the monitor holding the built-in handle and bottom frames of the monitor.  
Do not carry holding only the stand.  
This monitor has a front sensor. Do not touch the front sensor while carrying the monitor. Do not apply  
any stress to the front sensor.  
This device uses temperature-controlled fans for internal cooling. The use of this device in surgery rooms  
is not recommended if cleaning of the air intakes from dust and textile lint in regular time intervals cannot  
be performed by the user (interval: max. six months).  
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.  
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.  
Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any  
cleaning solution or glass cleaner!  
Adjust the monitor’s luminance 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.  
NOTE:  
This model is set up in the factory so that the NEC logo is briefly displayed after the monitor is powered on.  
This feature can be turned on or off in the Advanced OSD.  
In case you find such bright Brand Logo annoying in your reading room environment, you may easily switch this off.  
By keeping the “EXIT” button pressed while this logo is displayed, the BOOT LOGO menu will appear. It is possible  
to change the BOOT LOGO setting to OFF.  
Ergonomics  
To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:  
Adjust the luminance 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 Color Setting.  
Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate of at least 60 Hz.  
Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufficient  
contrast.  
Cleaning the LCD Panel  
When the liquid crystal panel is stained with dust or dirt, please wipe gently with soft cloth.  
Please do not rub the LCD panel with hard or coarse material.  
Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.  
Please do not use OA cleaner as 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 plastic parts 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.

Features  
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.  
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 committee 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.  
Color Control Systems (MD212MC/MD213MC): Allows you to adjust the colors on your screen and customize the color  
accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.  
Natural color matrix (MD212MC/MD213MC): Combines Six-axis color control and the sRGB standard. Six-axis color control  
permits color adjustments via six axes (R, G, B, C, M and Y) rather than through the three axes (R, G and B) previously  
available. The sRGB standard provides the monitor with a uniform color profile. This assures that the colors displayed on the  
monitor are exactly the same as on the color printout (with sRGB supporting operating system and sRGB printer). This allows  
you to adjust the colors on your screen and customise the color accuracy of your monitor to a variety of standards.  
OSD (On-Screen Display) Controls: Allow you to quickly and easily adjust all elements of your screen image via simple to  
use on-screen menus.  
ErgoDesign Features: Enhanced human ergonomics to improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and  
save money. Examples include OSD 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® 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.  
Intelligent power management 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 (176°) from any  
orientation — Portrait or Landscape. Provides full 176° viewing angles either up, down, left or right.  
VESA Standard Mounting Interface: Allows users to connect their 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.  
CableComp automatic long cable compensation prevents image quality degradation caused by long cable lengths.  
No-touch Auto Adjust (Analog input only): No-touch auto adjust automatically adjusts the monitor to optimal settings upon  
initial setup.  
UNIFORMITY: This feature compensates for slight variations in the white uniformity level that may occur on the screen and  
improves the color and evens out the luminance uniformity of the display.  
Response Improve: Improved gray to gray response.  
Adjustable stand with pivot capability: Adds flexibility to your viewing preferences.  
Front sensor: Detects luminance changes over time. Used for standalone and network controlled calibrations and  
conformance tests.

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.  
Check the signal input, “DVI-D”, “DVI-I” or “D-SUB” (only for MD212MC).  
Power switch does not respond  
Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn off and reset 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 OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signal  
clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.  
OSD 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 OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing the FINE adjustment.  
When the display mode is changed, the OSD 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-interlaced and use 60Hz refresh rate.  
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.  
Display image is not sized properly  
Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the Coarse adjustment.  
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 switch 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 back flashes in a pattern of long and short blinks, depending on the type of problem detected.  
If the LED indicates a problem, please refer service to qualified personnel.
