In the UK, use a BS-approved power cord with the molded plug having a black (5A) fuse installed for use with this monitor.
Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.
Do not bend the power cord.
Do not use monitors in high temperature, humid, dusty, or oily areas.
Do not cover the vent on the monitor.
Vibration can damage the backlight. Do not install where the monitor will be exposed to continual vibration.
If the monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle it with care.
To prevent damage to the LCD monitor caused by tipping over due to earthquakes or other shocks, make sure to install the monitor in a stable location and take measures to prevent falling.

Immediately turn off the power, unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and move to a safe location then refer servicing to qualiﬁ ed service personnel under the following conditions. If the monitor is used in this condition, the monitor may cause fall, ﬁre, and electric shock:

If the monitor stand has been cracked or peeled.
If the monitor has been wobbled.
If the monitor has an unusual odor.
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.
CAUTION
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 the monitor.
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.
Do not touch the LCD panel surface while transporting, mounting, and setting. Applying pressure on the LCD panel can cause serious damage.

Image Persistence: Image persistence is when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image 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 using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.

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 the display to 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 (15.75 inches) and no further away than 70 cm (27.56 inches) from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm (19.69 inches).
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 reﬂ ect 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 monitor’s 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 ﬁ xed 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 beneﬁ ts, we recommend the following:

To avoid eye fatigue, adjust the brightness to a moderate setting. Place a sheet of white paper next to the LCD screen for luminance reference.
Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.
Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.
Use the preset Color Setting.
Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60 Hz.
Do not use the primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difﬁ cult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to insufﬁcient contrast.
Suitable for entertainment purposes in controlled luminous environments, to avoid disturbing reﬂections from the screen.

Cleaning the LCD Panel

When the LCD is dusty, please gently wipe it with a soft cloth.
Please do not rub the LCD panel with coarse or hard material.
Please do not apply pressure to the LCD surface.
Please do not use OA cleaner as it will cause deterioration or discoloration to the LCD surface.

Cleaning the Cabinet

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 card’s scanning frequency, thus displaying the resolution required.
FullScan Capability: This allows you to use the entire screen area in most resolutions, signiﬁ cantly expanding image size.
VESA Standard Mounting Interface: This allows users to connect their monitor to any VESA standard third-party mounting arm or bracket.
Environmental Impact (E221N): Annual typical maximum operating carbon footprint of this monitor (worldwide average) is approximately 23.0 kg (calculated by: rated wattage x 8 hours per day x 5 days a week x 45 weeks per year x Power-to-Carbon conversion factor – conversion factor is based on OECD publication of global CO2 emissions 2008 Edition).
This monitor has a manufacturing carbon footprint of approximately 52.0 kg.
Environmental Impact (E241N): Annual typical maximum operating carbon footprint of this monitor (worldwide average) is approximately 26.0 kg (calculated by: rated wattage x 8 hours per day x 5 days a week x 45 weeks per year x Power-to-Carbon conversion factor – conversion factor is based on OECD publication of global CO2 emissions 2008 Edition).
This monitor has a manufacturing carbon footprint of approximately 54.0 kg.
Note: The manufacturing and operating carbon footprints are calculated by a unique algorithm developed exclusively by NEC for its monitors and are accurate at the time of printing. NEC reserves the right to publish updated carbon footprint values.
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): HDCP is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a digital signal. If you are unable to view material via digital input, this does not necessarily mean the display is not functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).
DisplayPort: DisplayPort is designed to be the future-ready and scalable solution for high-performance digital display connectivity. It enables the highest resolutions, the fastest refresh rates, and deepest color depths over standard cables.
Low Blue Light: This monitor has a blue light reducing function. This means hazardous light from the monitor is substantially reduced and it allows to be free from eyestrain (see page 13).

Troubleshooting

No picture

The signal cable should be completely connected to the display card/computer.
The display card should be completely seated in its slot.
The monitor does not support the DisplayPort converter adapter.
Front Power Switch and computer power switch should be in the ON position.
Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used. (Please consult the display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)
Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended settings.
Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.
Check the signal input.

The power key does not respond

Unplug the power cord of the monitor from the AC outlet to turn it off and reset the monitor.
When something is stuck on the bezel, the key becomes unresponsive.

Image persistence

Image persistence is when a “ghost” of an image remains on the screen even after the monitor has been turned off. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided.
To alleviate image persistence, turn the monitor off for as long as an 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 using a screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.
The message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (the screen is either blank or shows rough images only)

Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signal clock or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.
OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is 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

The signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust the display by increasing or decreasing the ﬁne total. When the display mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.
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 a 60 Hz refresh rate.

The picture is not as bright

Make sure ECO MODE is turned off.
The signal cable should be completely attached.
LCD brightness degradation occurs due to long-term usage or extremely cold conditions.
If the brightness ﬂuctuates, make sure DV MODE is set to OFF.

LED on the monitor is not lit (no blue or amber color can be seen)

The power switch should be in the ON position and the power cord should be connected.

The display image is not sized properly

Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the H.SIZE.
Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used. (Please consult the display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)

No Video

If no video is present on the screen, turn the Power key off and on again.
Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyboard or mouse).
Some display cards do not output a video signal when the monitor is turned OFF/ON or disconnected/connect from the AC power cord under low resolution with DisplayPort.

No Sound

Check to see if the speaker cable is properly connected.
Check to see if mute is activated.
Check the volume in the OSD menu.
Check selected OSD’s Tools “SOUND INPUT”, when DisplayPort or HDMI is in use.

Brightness variations over time

Change DV MODE to OFF and adjust brightness.

NOTE: When DV MODE is set to ON, the monitor automatically adjusts brightness based on the environment.
