have sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock. Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any part inside of this unit.
This symbol alerts the user that important literature concerning the operation and maintenance of this unit has been included. Therefore, it should
be read carefully in order to avoid any problems.

WARNING

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

WARNING
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE. ALSO DO NOT USE THIS UNIT'S POLARIZED PLUG
WITH AN EXTENSION CORD RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLETS, UNLESS
THE PRONGS CAN BE FULLY INSERTED. REFRAIN FROM OPENING THE
CABINET AS THERE ARE HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Warnings and Safety Precaution
The NEC MultiSync Multimedia monitors XP29 Plus and XM29 Plus are
designed and manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service. No
maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a soft cloth and if
necessary, mild detergent. Do not use commercial spray cleaners
which may damage the surface. In case of damage, arrange for repairs at an authorized NEC Service Center.
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 internal heat buildup. Do not cover rear vents or install in a closed cabinet or shelves.
The unit is equipped with cooling fans on the top. If you enclose the
unit in a cabinet or rack, be sure there is adequate space at the top
of the unit to allow heated air to rise and escape. A cabinet or
shelves in which the unit is placed must be maintained below 40°C
2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension cords or
outlets unless the prongs can be completely inserted.
3. Do not expose unit to rain 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 dangerous high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged 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 not liable for any
bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 100-120V/220-240V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued operation at line voltages other than 100-120V/220-240 Volts AC
will shorten the life of the unit, and might even cause a fire hazard.
2. Handle the unit carefully when moving and do not drop.
3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.
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. Unplug unit before cleaning. Use only a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Commercial household sprays and cleaners may damage the CRT
surface and cabinet.
6. Stacking of units, one top of another, may result in damage to the
units. Stacking is not recommended.

Mises en garde et précautions de sécurité

Pour un fonctionnement sûr et afin d’éviter d’endommager l’appareil, lire
attentivement et respecter les instructions suivantes.

5. Débrancher l’appareil pendant les tempêtes ou si l’appareil n’est pas
utilisé pendant une longue période.
6. Ne pas ouvrir le coffret. Des composants de haute tension se trouvent à
l’intérieur. Si l’appareil est endommagé de cette manière, la garantie
devient caduque. De plus, il y a risque d’électrocution.
7. Ne pas essayer de réparer ou entretenir l’appareil soi-même. NEC ne saura
être tenu pour responsable pour toute blessure ou dommage causé par
des personnes non qualifiées qui essayent de réparer ou d’ouvrir le
couvercle arrière. Confier toute réparation à un centre de service agréé
NEC.

Afin d’éviter tout risque d’électrocution et d’incendie:

Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de service de l’appareil:

1. Réserver un espace libre suffisant pour la ventilation afin d’éviter une
accumulation de chaleur interne. Ne pas couvrir les trous d’aération
arrière ou installer l’appareil dans un coffret fermé ou sur une étagère.
L’appareil est équipé d’ailettes de refroidissement sur le dessus. Si
l’appareil est logé dans un coffret ou sur une étagère, s’assurer qu’il y a
un espace libre suffisant pour la dissipation de la chaleur. Si l’appareil est
posé sur un coffret ou une étagère, la température doit être maintenue
en dessous de 40°C.
2. Ne pas utiliser la fiche polarisée du cordon d’alimentation avec des
prolongateurs ou des prises de courant, sauf si les lames peuvent être
insérées à fond.
3. Ne pas exposer à la pluie ou à l’humidité.
4. Eviter d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation, et ne pas modifier le
cordon d’alimentation.

1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 100-120 V/220-240V 50/60 Hz
CA. Le fait d’utiliser l’appareil en continu à des tensions de ligne
supérieures à 100-120/220-240 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

Des aérosols et produits de nettoyage disponibles dans le commerce
risquent d’endommager l’écran et le coffret.
6.Ne pas empiler les unités les unes sur les autres, afin d’éviter de les
endommager.

Les moniteurs MultiSync Multimédia XP29 Plus et XM29 Plus de NEC ont été
conçus et fabriqués pour assurer une longue durée de service sans
problèmes. Aucun entretien à l’exception du nettoyage n’est nécessaire.
Utiliser un chiffon doux et un détergent doux, si nécessaire. Ne pas utiliser
des aérosols de nettoyage du commerce qui risquent d’endommager la
surface de cet appareil. Si l’appareil est endommagé, confier les travaux
de réparation à un centre de service agréé NEC.

menu. See page 40.

Using OSM Controls
NEC's new OSM, or On-Screen Manager, System offers the ultimate form of
monitor controls. Keys on the remote control unit or front bezel allow you to
easily navigate through menus and adjust controls.
OSM controls include extended controls such as Brightness, Contrast, Size,
Position, Pin cushion, Keystone, Vertical Linearity, Scan Select and other
OSM utilities. Adjustments are saved instantly. The currently addressed
control can be reset to factory settings by pressing the NORMAL key.
OSM keys on the remote control unit function as follows:
PROCEED

when any one of them is highlighted without
any specific control selected.

NOTE 2: Select the over scan mode for VIDEO display.
3. Adjust The Raster or The Picture Control.
You can adjust the raster such as the horizontal size, vertical size or side
pincushion correction, and the brightness and contrast of the image with the
remote control.
4. Turning Off The monitor.
Press the POWER OFF button on the remote control or press the POWER
button on the front panel.

Degaussing
The earth's magnetic field and other magnetic sources can magnetize a color
picture tube causing patches of impure colors. This monitor automatically
demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds each time the monitor is switched
on. Sometimes during transportation a severe magnetic field can be
encountered which may require demagnetizing to clear the problem. Also, if
powered on for extended periods of time, magnetic fields can be produced by
the CRT itself, causing color impurities. In these cases, use the DEGAUSS
key once to demagnetize the picture tube. Pressing this key once
demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds.
CAUTION: Please allow a minimum of 30 minutes to elapse between uses of
the DEGAUSS key, when not switching from mode to mode. Do not hold the
key down continuously to avoid decreasing the life of the degauss circuitry.

The XP29 Plus/XM29 Plus returns an ACK if it has received the command
correctly.
If it has not received the command correctly due to data error, it will return
nothing. Therefore, when the external equipment send a command, make
sure that it received the ACK.
