NOTE 1: CREATING A SCHEDULE
Using the “SCHEDULE” function allows you to set up to seven different scheduled time intervals when the LCD Monitor will be activated.
You can select the time the monitor turns on and turns off, the day of week the monitor is activated, and which input source the monitor will
use for each scheduled activation period. A check mark in the box next to the number of the schedule indicates that the selected schedule
is in effect.
To select which schedule to set, use the up/down arrows to move the number (1 to 7) of the schedule.
Use the (+) and (-) buttons to move the cursor horizontally within the particular schedule. The “SET” button is used to make a selection.
If you create a schedule but do not want to use a power on time, select “--” in the “ON” time slot.
If you do not want to use a power off time select “--” in the OFF time slot.
If there is no input selected (“--” showing in the input spot) the input from the previous schedule will be used.
The selection of EVERY DAY within a schedule takes priority over other schedules that are set up to operate weekly.
After the schedule is programmed, press the “MENU” button to close the OSD and make the set schedule available.
When schedules are overlapping, scheduled Power ON time has priority over scheduled Power OFF time.
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.
ON time should be earlier than OFF time. If OFF time is earlier than ON time, schedule function is not working properly.
If you would like to set the monitor power on at 23:00 and power off at 6:00 next morning, you should set 2 settings. First setting is ON
time is “23:00” and OFF time is “--”, next setting is ON time is “--” and OFF time is “06:00”.
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 AND TIME” and “SCHEDULE” 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.

Network Setting by Using an HTTP Browser
Overview
Connecting the monitor to a network allows for monitor control from a computer via the network.
To perform the monitor control from a web browser, you must have an exclusive application installed on your computer.
The IP address and subnet mask of the monitor can be set on the Network Setting screen of the web browser by using an
HTTP server function. Please be sure to use “Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0” or a higher version for the web browser.
(This device uses “JavaScript” and “Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method will
vary depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in your software.)
Access is gained to the HTTP server function by starting the Web browser on the computer via the network connected to the

							English-26
Preparation Before Use
Connect the monitor to a commercially available LAN cable before engaging in browser operations.
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the setting
method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set will not be
displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may not be reflected in
operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavailable.
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered into the URL column when operation of the monitor is
via a browser, the host name can be used as it is when the host name corresponding to the IP address of the monitor has
been registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding to the IP address of
the monitor has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the computer being used.
Example 1: When the host name of the monitor has been set to “pd.nec.co.jp”, access is gained to the network setting by
specifying 
http://pd.nec.co.jp/index.html for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Example 2: When the IP address of the monitor is “192.168.73.1”, access is gained to the mail alert settings by specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Network Settings
http:// /index.html
