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. SCHEDULE: ON: – – : – – OFF: – – : – – – – – – INPUT: PIC.

English-27 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.
