User’s Manual

Important InformationWarnings and Safety PrecautionThe NEC PlasmaSync 4210W is designed and manu-factured to provide long, trouble-free service. No main-tenance other than cleaning is required. Use a softdry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents suchas alcohol or thinner to clean the panel surface.The plasma display panel consists of fine picture ele-ments (cells). Although NEC produces the plasma dis-play panels with more than 99.99 percent active cells,there may be some cells that do not produce light orremain lit.For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit,read carefully and observe the following instructions.To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid inter-nal heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install in aclosed cabinet or shelves.The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you installthe unit in an enclosure, be sure there is adequate spaceat the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape.If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protectorwill be activated and the monitor will be turned off. Ifthis happens, turn off the power to the monitor and un-plug the power cord. If the room where the monitor isinstalled is particularly hot, move the monitor to a coolerlocation, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 min-utes. If the problem persists, contact your NEC dealerfor service.

2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with exten-sion cords or outlets unless the prongs can be completelyinserted.

3. Do not expose unit to water or moisture.4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to

modify the power cord.5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not

be used over a long period.6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially danger-

ous high voltage components inside. If the unit is dam-aged in this way the warranty will be void. Moreover,there is a serious risk of electric shock.

7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. NEC is notliable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unquali-fied persons attempt service or open the back cover.Refer all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.

PrecautionsPlease read this manual carefully before using your NECPlasmaSync - 42inch Plasma Monitor PX-42M5A and keepthe manual handy for future reference.

DOC compliance NoticeThis Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements ofthe Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

WARNINGThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with thelimits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCCRules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec-tion against harmful interference when the equipment is operatedin a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed andused in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. Operation of this equipmentin a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in whichcase the user will be required to correct the interference at hisown expense.

CAUTION

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 VoltsAC will shorten the life of the unit, and might evencause a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it and do notdrop.

3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and directsunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and smallmetal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit andhave it serviced by an authorized NEC Service Center.

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 aCRT monitor, for example) light output will graduallydecrease 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 gasplasma displays, PlasmaSync monitors can be susceptibleto phosphor burn under certain circumstances. Certainoperating conditions, such as the continuous display of astatic image over a prolonged period of time, can result inphosphor 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 saverfunction 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 thelikelihood of phosphor burn:

* Lower the Brightness and Contrast levels as much aspossible 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 lightand dark areas, for example white characters on blackbackgrounds. Use complementary or pastel color when-ever possible.

* Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct,sharply defined borders between colors.

Check sum

Command 1Command 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 ofthe supported equipment have been received. When the lower order 4 bits is BH (as in 3BH and 7BH), this indicates thatunsupported commands and data have been received.

Unit ID 1 and Unit ID 2Unit ID 1 and unit ID 2 are numbers used to identify the equipment that is to be connected.60H is used for the PlasmaSync 4210W 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 2Command 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.

Total 208H

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.
