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)

* 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.

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.
Collier

• 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.

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.
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.
Communications Flow
External equipment
e.g., Personal computer
Plasma monitor
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.
Running Sense
Running Sense
Running Sense
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.
The plasma monitor 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 anACK is not required when external equip-
ment 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 equip-
ment such as a personal computer, the plasma monitor is
always receive enabled.
Note that when an ACK has not been returned from the
plasma monitor in 1.5 seconds, a resending of the com-
mand is recommended.
