Turn off the power to your computer. 2. If necessary, install the display card into your system. For more information, refer to the display card manual. 3. For the PC: Connect the 15-pin mini D-SUB of the captive signal cable to the connector of the display card in your system (Figure A.1). Tighten all screws. For the Mac: Connect the MultiSync E Series Macintosh cable adapter (not included) to the monitor connector on the Macintosh (Figure B.1). Attach the 15-pin mini D-SUB end of the captive signal cable to the Macintosh cable adapter on the computer (Figure B.1). Tighten all screws. NOTE: To obtain the MultiSync E Series cable adapter, call NEC Technologies at (800) 820-1230. 4. Connect one end of the power cord to the MultiSync E Series monitor and the other end to the power outlet (Figure C.1). 5. Turn on the monitor (Figure D.1) and the computer. NOTE: If you have any problems, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of this User's Manual.

There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. · 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 monitor. · Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water. · Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure. · Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire. · Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable cart, stand or table, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage to the monitor. · Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors and other devices such as external speakers or fans, which may create strong magnetic fields. · If possible, position the monitor so that it is facing the east to minimize the effects of the earth's magnetic field. · Changing the direction of the monitor while it is powered on may cause image discoloration. To correct this, turn the monitor off for 20 minutes before powering it back on. · 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. Immediately unplug your monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: · · · · · 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. 6 78131861 8 5/21/98, 2:23 PM Recommended Use CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR: · 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 12 inches and no further away than 28 inches from your eyes. The optimal distance is 18 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 reflect on your screen. · If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter. · Clean your monitor regularly. Use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and a non-alcohol, neutral, non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner to minimize dust. · 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. · Get regular eye checkups.
