    Operating Range for the Remote
    Control
    Point the top of the remote control toward the LCD monitor’s
    remote sensor during button operation.
    Use the remote control within a distance of about 7 m (23 ft.)
    from remote control sensor or at a horizontal and vertical
    angle of within 30° within a distance of about 3.5 m (10 ft.).
    Caution:Important, the remote control
    system may not function when
    direct sunlight or strong
    illumination strikes the remote
    control sensor or when there is
    an object in the path.
    Handling the remote control
    • Do not subject to strong shock.
    • Do not allow water or other liquid to splash the remote
    control. If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry
    immediately.
    • Avoid exposure to heat and steam.
    • Other than to install the batteries, do not open the remote control.

    1. Determine the installation location
    CAUTION:Installing your LCD display must be done by a
    qualified technician. Contact your dealer for
    more information.
    CAUTION:
    MOVING OR INSTALLING THE LCD MONITOR
    MUST BE DONE BY TWO OR MORE PEOPLE
    (M401/M461), BY FOUR OR MORE PEOPLE
    (M521). Failure to follow this caution may result in
    injury if the LCD monitor falls.
    CAUTION: Do not mount or operate the display upside
    down, face up, or face down.
    CAUTION: This LCD has a temperature sensor and cooling
    fan. If the LCD becomes too hot, the cooling fan
    will turn on automatically. If the LCD becomes
    overheated while the cooling fan is running, a
    “Caution” warning will appear. If the “Caution”
    warning appears, discontinue use and allow the
    unit to cool. Using the cooling fan will reduce the
    likelihood of early circuit failure and may help
    reduce image degradation and “Image
    Persistance”.
    If the LCD is used in an enclosed area or if the
    LCD panel is covered with a protective screen,
    please check the inside temperature of the
    monitor by using the “HEAT STATUS” control in
    the OSD (see page 24). If the temperature is
    higher than the normal operating temperature,
    please turn the cooling fan to ON within the FAN
    CONTROL menu within the OSD (see page 24).
    IMPORTANT: Lay the protective sheet, which was wrapped
    around the LCD monitor when it was
    packaged, beneath the LCD monitor so as
    not to scratch the panel.
    2. Install the remote control batteries
    The remote control is powered by two 1.5V AA batteries.
    To install or replace batteries: NEC recommends the following battery use:
    • Place “AA” size batteries matching the (+) and (-) signs
    on each battery to the (+) and (-) signs of the battery
    compartment.
    • Do not mix battery brands.
    • Do not combine new and old batteries. This can shorten battery life or cause liquid leakage of batteries.
    • Remove dead batteries immediately to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.
    • Do not touch exposed battery acid, it may injure skin.
    NOTE: If you do not intend to use the Remote Control for a
    long period of time, remove the batteries.
    3. Connect external equipment (See pages 14 and 15)
    • To protect the external equipment; turn off the main power before making connections.
    • Refer to your equipment user manual for further information.
    NOTE: Do not connect/disconnect cables when turning on
    the monitor or other external equipment as this may
    result in a loss of the monitor image.
    4. Connect the supplied power cord
    • The equipment should be installed close to an easily accessible power outlet.
    • Please fasten power cord to the LCD monitor by attaching the screw and clamp.
    • Fully insert the prongs into the power outlet socket. A loose connection may cause image degradation.
    NOTE: Please refer to the “Safety Precautions and
    Maintenance” section of this manual for proper
    selection of AC power cord.
    Setup
    A. Press and slide to open the cover.
    B. Align the batteries according to the (+) and (–) indications inside the case.
    C. Replace the cover.
    CAUTION: Incorrect usage of batteries can result in leaks
    or bursting.

    5. Switch on the power of all the attachedexternal equipment
    When connected with a computer, switch on the power of
    the computer first.
    6. Operate the attached externalequipment
    Display the signal from the desired input source.
    7. Adjust the sound
    Make volume adjustments when required.
    8. Adjust the screen (See pages 20 and 21)
    Make adjustments of the screen display position when
    necessary.
    9. Adjust the image (See page 20)
    Make adjustments such as brightness or contrast when
    required.
    10. Recommended Adjustments
    To reduce the risk of the “Image Persistence”, please adjust
    the following items based on the application being used:
    “SCREEN SAVER”, “SIDE BORDER COLOR” (See page 24)
    “DATE & TIME”, “SCHEDULE SETTINGS” (See page 21).
    It is recommended that the “FAN CONTROL” setting
    (See page 24) be turned to ON also.

    Connections
    NOTE:Do not connect/disconnect cables when turning on the monitor or other ex\
    ternal equipment as this may result in a
    loss of the monitor image.
    NOTE: Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor turns down the sound.
    Before making connections:
    * First turn off the power of all the attached equipment and make connections.
    * Refer to the user manual included with each separate piece of equipment.\

    ming signal automatically.
    
    • If you use with a Macintosh PowerBook, set “Mirroring” to Off on your PowerBook.Refer to your Macintosh’s owner’s manual for more information about your computer’s video output requirements and any
    special identification or configuration your monitor’s image and monitor may require.
    • Input TMDS signals conforming to DVI standards.
    • To maintain display quality, use a cable that conforms to DVI standards.
    Connecting a DVD Player with HDMI out
    • Please use an HDMI cable with HDMI logo.
    • It may take a moment for the signal to appear.
    • PC-DVI signals are not supported.
    Connecting a Computer with DisplayPort
    • Please use DisplayPort cable with DisplayPort certified logo.
    • It may take a moment for the signal to appear.
    • Please note that DisplayPort connector does not supply power to the conn\
    ected component.

    Using Power Management
    The LCD monitor follows the VESA approved DPM Display
    Power Management function.
    The power management function is an energy saving
    function that automatically reduces the power consumption
    of the display when the keyboard or the mouse has not been
    used for a fixed period.
    The power management feature on your new display has
    been set to the “ON” mode. This allows your display to enter
    a Power Saving Mode when no signal is applied. This could
    potentially increase the life and decrease the power
    consumption of the display.
    NOTE:Depending on the PC and video card used, this
    function may not operate.
    Selecting a video source
    To view a video source:
    Use the input button to set [VIDEO].
    Use the COLOR SYSTEM menu to set [AUTO], [NTSC],
