Recommendations to avoid or minimize phosphor burn-in  
NOTE:  
When you connect a computer to this monitor, attach  
the supplied ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this  
monitor will not comform to mandatory FCC standards.  
Attaching the ferrite cores.  
Set the ferrite cores on the both ends of the DVI cable  
(not supplied), and the one end of the power cable (sup-  
plied).  
Like all phosphor-based display devices and all other gas  
plasma displays, plasma 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 plasma monitor, please  
adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations  
for minimizing the occurrence of image burn:  
Close the lid tightly until the clamps click.  
Use the band to secure the ferrite core (supplied).  
DVI cable (not supplied)  
Connector

* 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.  
core (small)

If the plasma monitor is in long term use or continuous  
operation take the following measures to reduce the  
likelihood of phosphor burn:  
Power cable (supplied)  
core (large)  
band  
(Plasma Monitor side)  
Set side  
* 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.  
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.  
* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,  
sharply defined borders between colors.  
2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do not  
drop.  
3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct  
sunlight.  
Contact NEC Technologies at 1-800-836-0655 for other  
recommended procedures that will best suit your particu-  
lar application needs.  
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.

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.

Pour éviter le risque de combustion au phosphore, les  
mesures suivantes sont recommandées :  
REMARQUE:  
Lorsque vous branchez un micro-ordinateur sur ce  
moniteur, fixez les noyaux en ferrites fournis. Si vous  
ne le faîtes, le moniteur ne sera pas en conformité avec  
les exigences des standards FCC.  
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 :  
Fixation des noyaux en ferrite.  
Installez les noyaux en ferrite sur chaque bout du câble  
DVI (non fourni), ainsi que sur un côté du câble  
d'alimentation électrique (founi).  
Fermez doucement le couvercle jusqu'à ce que les crans  
se clipsent.  
Utiliser les colliers pour fixer la tore en ferrite (fourni)  
Câble DVI (non fourni)  
Collier  
Connecteur  
• 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.  
Câble d'alimentation  
électrique (fourni)  
noyau (large)  
Collier  
Si le moniteur est en usage continu ou longue durée, prenez  
les mesures suivantes afin d'éviter l'occurence de  
combustion au phosphore :  
Côté de l'appareil  
(côté du moniteur à plasma)  
• 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.  
Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de  
service de l’appareil:  
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.

• 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.  
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 plasma monitor 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.
