							English-26 NOTE 1: CREATING A SCHEDULE
The schedule function allows the display to be set to power on and off at different times. Up to seven different schedules can be
programmed.
To program the schedule:
1. Enter the SCHEDULE menu. Highlight SCHEDULE SETTINGS using the up and down buttons. Press the SET or the + button to enter the
Settings menu. Highlight the desired schedule number and press set. The box next to the number will turn yellow. The schedule can now
be programmed.
2. Use the down button to highlight the hours setting in the ON time slot. Use the + and - buttons to set the hour. Use the up and down
buttons to highlight the minutes setting. Use the + and - buttons to set the minutes. Set the OFF time in the same manner.
3. Use the up and down arrows to highlight INPUT. Use the + and - buttons to choose the input source. Use the up and down arrows to
highlight PIC. MODE. Use the + and - buttons to choose the picture mode.
4. Use the down button to select a day on which the schedule will be enabled. Push the
set button to enable. If the schedule is to be ran every day, choose EVERY DAY and
press the SET button. The circle next to EVERY DAY will turn yellow. If a weekly
schedule is desired, choose the days of the week using the up and down buttons and
pressing SET to select. Then highlight the EVERY WEEK option and press SET.
5. After a schedule is programmed the remaining schedules can then be set. Press
MENU to leave the OSD or press EXIT to go back to the previous menu.
Note: If schedules are overlapping then the schedule with the highest number will have
priority over the schedule with the lowest number. For example schedule #7 will have
priority over schedule #1.
If selected input or picture mode is not available now, disable input or picture mode
is shown in red.
NOTE 2: IMAGE PERSISTENCE
Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence. Image Persistence occurs 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.
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.
Please set “SCREEN SAVER”, “DATE &TIME” and “SCHEDULE SETTINGS” functions to further reduce the risk of Image persistence.
For long life use as Public Display
Image Sticking of LCD Panel
When an LCD panel is operated continuously for long hours, a trace of electric charge remains near the electrode inside LCD, and residual
or “ghost” image of previous image may be observed. (Image Persistence)
Image Persistence is not permanent, but when fixed image is displayed for long period, ionic impurities inside LCD are accumulated along
the displayed image, and may be permanent. (Image Sticking)
Recommendations
To prevent Image Sticking, and for longer life usage of LCD, the following are recommended.
1. Fixed image should not be displayed for long period. Change fixed images after short intervals.
2. When not in use, please turn off the monitor by remote control, or use Power Management or use Schedule Functions.
3. Lower environmental temperatures prolong the lifespan of the monitor.
When Protective surface (glass, acrylic) is installed over the LCD surface, the LCD surface is located in an enclosed space, the monitor
are stacked, utilize the temperature sensors inside monitor.
To reduce the environmental temperature, use the Cooling Fan, Screen Saver and Low Brightness.
4. Please use “Screen Saver Mode” of monitor.

EnglishREMOTE CONTROL ID FUNCTION
REMOTE CONTROL ID
The remote control can be used to control up to 100 individual MultiSync monitors using
what is called the REMOTE CONTROL ID mode. The REMOTE CONTROL ID mode
works in conjunction with the Monitor ID, allowing control of up to 100 individual
MultiSync monitors. For example: if there are many monitors being used in the same
area, a remote control in normal mode would send signals to every monitor at the same
time (see Figure 1). Using the remote in REMOTE CONTROL ID mode will only operate
one specific monitor within the group (see Figure 2).
TO SET REMOTE CONTROL ID
While holding down the REMOTE ID SET button on the remote control, use the KEYPAD
to input the Monitor ID (1-100) of the display to be controlled via remote. The remote can
then be used to operate the monitor having that specific Monitor ID number.
When 0 is selected or when the remote control is in normal mode, all monitors will be
operated.
TO SET/RESET REMOTE CONTROL MODE
ID Mode - To enter ID Mode press the REMOTE ID SET button and hold down for
2 seconds.
Normal Mode - To return to Normal Mode press the REMOTE ID CLEAR button and hold
down for 2 seconds.
In order for this feature to work properly, the display must be assigned a Monitor ID
number. The Monitor ID number can be assigned under the MULTI DISPLAY menu in the
OSD (See page 23).
Point the remote control towards the remote sensor of the desired monitor and press the
REMOTE ID SET button. The MONITOR ID number is shown on the display when your remote control is in ID mode.
Use the remote control to operate a monitor that has a specific MONITOR ID number assigned to it.
1. Set the MONITOR ID number for the display (See page 23). The MONITOR ID number can range from 1-100.
This MONITOR ID number allows the remote control to operate this specific monitor without affecting other monitors.
2. On the remote control, press and hold down the REMOTE ID SET button while using the keypad to input the REMOTE CONTROL ID
number (1-100). The REMOTE ID NUMBER should match the MONITOR ID number of the display to be controlled. Choose “0” to
simultaneously control all displays in range.
3. Point the remote control towards the remote sensor of the desired monitor and press the REMOTE ID SET button.
The MONITOR ID number is shown in red on the display.
If the REMOTE CONTROLID is “0”, then all displays in range will show their respective MONITOR ID number in red.
If the MONITOR ID number is shown in white on the display, the MONITOR ID number and the REMOTE CONTROL ID are not the same.
This LCD monitor can be controlled via personal computer or wireless remote control using an RS-232C connection.
MONITOR ID and IR CONTROL
Using one PC or one infrared wireless controller, up to 100 individual LCD monitors can be controlled through a daisy chain via RS-232C
connection.
1. Connect PC and LCD monitors.
Connect a PC’s RS-232C control output to the LCD monitor RS-232C input. You can then connect the RS-232C output from the LCD
monitor to another LCD monitor RS-232C input. Up to 100 monitors can be connected using RS-232C.
2. Set Monitor ID and IR Control mode.
For proper operation, the Monitor ID should be set in the OSD menu of each monitor that is in the chain. The Monitor ID can be set under
the “MULTI DISPLAY” menu in the OSD. The Monitor ID number can be set within a range from 1 to 100. No two monitors should share
the same Monitor ID number. It is recommended to number each monitor in a daisy chain sequentially from 1. The first monitor in the daisy
chain is designated as the primary monitor. Subsequent monitors with the chain are secondary monitors.
In the “ADVANCED OPTION” menu on the first monitor in the RS-232C daisy chain set the “IR CONTROL” to “PRIMARY”.
Set the “IR CONTROL” to “SECONDARY” on all other monitors.

3. Press the “DISPLAY” button on the remote control while aiming at the “PRIMARY” monitor. The Information OSD will be shown at
top left side of the screen.
Monitor ID: Displays the ID number of the current monitor within the daisy chain.
Target ID: Displays the ID number of the monitor that to be controlled via daisy chain from the current monitor.
Press the “+” or “-” buttons to change the “Target ID” to show the ID number of the monitor to be controlled. To control the entire daisy
chained monitors simultaneously, select “ALL” as the “Target ID.”
4. Use the wireless remote controller to control the “SECONDARY” monitor while aiming at the “PRIMARY” monitor.
The “MENU OSD” will appear on the selected target monitor.
NOTE:If the “ID No.” mode select OSD is showing, press the “DISPLAY” button on the remote control while pointing at the “PRIMARY”
monitor to clear this OSD.
HINT:If you lost control due to the incorrect setting of “IR CONTROL”, pressing the “DISPLAY” button on the remote control for 5 or
more seconds will reset the “IR CONTROL” menu to “NORMAL” function.
