Safety Precautions and Maintenance  
FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, PLEASE NOTE  
THE FOLLOWING WHEN SETTING UP AND USING  
THE MULTISYNC 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.  
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.  
If glass is broken, handle with care.  
If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.  
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: Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence.  
Image Persistence occurs when a residual or ghostimage of a previous image remains visible on the screen.  
Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitorsimage 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 displaying moving images and  
using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.  
English-11  
 
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 monitors 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 between 60-75 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.

*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 VGA connector. Provides traditional MultiSync technology  
compatibility for analog as well as DVI-based digital compatibility for digital inputs. DVI-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 Istands 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 monitors 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.  
OmniColor: Combines Six-axis colour control and the sRGB standard. Six-axis colour control permits colour 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 colour profile. This assures that the colours displayed on the monitor are exactly the same  
as on the colour printout (with sRGB supporting operating system and sRGB printer). This allows you to adjust the colours on  
your screen and customise 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 cards 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 degrees 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.  
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.  
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.  
GammaComp: Internal circuitry automatically converts 8-bit data from the PC to 10-bit and back to 8-bit, producing smooth,  
accurate colour tones. Gamma can be set by using preset values or creating a custom setting from 0.7 to 4.4 in increments of 0.1.

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 left side of the monitor.  
Image persistence  
Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Image  
Persistence occurs when a residual or ghostimage of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT  
monitors, LCD monitorsimage 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 displaying moving images  
and 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 RANGEis displayed: Either signal  
clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.  
OSM warning OUT OF RANGEis 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 or amber colour 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 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).  
No tilt  
Rotate the screen to 90° clockwise until you hear one click.

TCO99 (Black model)  
Congratulations! You have just purchased a  
TCO99 approved and labeled product! Your choice  
has provided you with a product developed for  
professional use.Your purchase has also  
contributed to reducing the burden on the  
environment and also to the further development of  
environmentally adapted electronics products.  
Lead**  
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and  
capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher  
doses, causes lead poisoning.  
TCO99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no  
replacement has yet been developed.  
Cadmium**  
Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?  
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the  
colourgenerating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium  
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.  
TCO99 requirement states that batteries, the colourgenerating  
layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics  
components must not contain any cadmium.  
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an  
established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and  
services to the environment. The main problem, as far as  
computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that  
environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products  
and during the manufacturing. Since it has not been possible for  
the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled in a  
satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances  
sooner or later enter Nature.  
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy  
consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both  
the work (Internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all  
methods of conventional electricity generation have a negative  
effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing  
emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy.  
Electronics equipment in offices consume an enormous amount of  
energy since they are often left running continuously.  
Mercury**  
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches,  
Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.  
TCO99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any  
Mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of  
the electrical or electronics components associated with the  
display unit.  
CFCs (freons)  
CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit  
boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone  
layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth  
of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer  
(malignant melanoma).  
The relevant TCO99 requirement; Neither CFCs nor HCFCs  
may be used during the manufacturing and assembly of the  
product or its packaging.  
What does labelling involve?  
This product meets the requirements for the TCO99 scheme  
which provides for international and environmental labelling of  
personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a  
joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional  
Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish  
Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet  
(The Swedish National Energy Administration).  
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment,  
ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields,  
energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.  
The environmental demands concern restrictions on the presence  
and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame  
retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other  
things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the  
manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan which must  
be adhered to in each country where the company implements its  
operational policy. The energy requirements include a demand that  
the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity,  
shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more  
stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be  
reasonable for the user.  
*Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate  
within living organisms.  
**Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are  
Bio-accumulative.

example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields,  
physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.  
Environmental Requirements  
Flame retardants  
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables,  
wires, casings and housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire.  
Up to thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist  
of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain  
bromine or chloride and these are related to another group of  
environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to  
severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating  
birds and mammals, due to the bioaccumulative* processes. Flame  
retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear  
that disturbances in foetus development may occur.  
TCO99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more  
than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically  
bound chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are allowed in the  
printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
