The MultiSync XP17/XP21 monitor includes Microsoft’s Plug and Play, NEC’s ErgoDesign properties, the On Screen Manager (OSM), as well as all the unique features you expect from MultiSync Monitors. The MultiSync technology provides you with automatic compatibility with multiple operating platforms and a vast array of graphics standards allowing resolution upgrades without upgrading the monitor. The MultiSync XP17/XP21 monitor strictly follows ErgoDesign guidelines featuring enhanced human ergonomics (human and earth condition). The goal of ErgoDesign is to maximise the comfort and productivity of the end user. ErgoDesign parallels the strict European standards of power management and reduced emissions. In addition our monitor is designed to be recyclable. Feature Highlights Plug and Play is the new Microsoft solution for Windows 95 to provide instant peripheral connections without confusing and time-consuming setup. NEC co-developed the monitors Plug and Play capability that allows your system to automatically identify and configure the monitor connected to it. The XP-series monitors automatically tell the system its type and capabilities. NECs Partnership with Microsoft provides you with simple installation, setup, and services. ACCESS.bus is fast becoming the new industry standard for device communication. This channel provides a real two-way communication between devices, such as monitors, mice and keyboards, and the system. The system can now learn about the devices connected to it, and the devices, in turn, can receive and follow instructions. These convenient ACCESS.bus devices can be plugged into any ACCESS.bus connector at anytime whether your system is on or not. Introduction E-1ACCESS.bus capability not only includes the convenience and ease of Plug and Play, but also allows your system to automatically set the XP-series monitor to its best case settings. You can be sure that your monitor is set to the highest resolution and refresh rate your system or video card is capable of. The monitor can also be adjusted remotely through system software, applications, or the keyboard for further customization and ease of use. You have now increased functionality and serviceability of your XP-series monitor. The common cable maze behind your monitor and system is reduced thanks to ACCESS.bus. The MultiSync XP-series of monitors include an extra connector for current ACCESS.bus devices like mice or keyboards; just put your system under your desk. You now have an increased flexibility for connection of peripherals to your system because you can plug into any ACCESS.bus connection anytime and anywhere. The XP-series of monitors is further enhanced by Monitor Manager Software - a suite of applications that take advantage of ACCESS.bus. Beyond the power saving gained by Power Manager software, also available for your MultiSync monitor are the following applications that work together to help you customize your display for different applications, different work areas, different times of day or different users. Store and recall each customized setting. On-Screen Manager, OSM, controls are extended by using an Image Manager software. A new, easy to use, application that allows you to customise and store an unlimited number of monitor settings and provides application-based resolution and color switching. You can now tie not only a resolution, but a specific color setting to a multimedia application and another paper-white color setting to a letter or spread sheet. The Color Manager represented by the Colorific Color Enhancement System helps you match what is on your screen to your printer output by incorporating Kodaks Color Management System in Microsoft Windows or Apples ColorSync Utility on the Macintosh to translate your choices to matching printed material. The Resolution Manager is represented by DPI-On-The-Fly for Macintosh Computers enables you to take advantage of switching to different resolutions that are supported by you Apple Macintosh system. Switch to a higher resolution like 1024x768, to see more information on E-2 Introductionyour screen or switch to a lower resolution, such as 640x480, to increase the speed of your system or to increase the number of available colours. Please see the instructions included with the software for installation and function instructions. The Intelligent Power Manager System (IPM) follows the United States government’s EPA and Europe’s Nutek guidelines. The IPM-System increases the monitor’s life and saves energy and costs by powering down when not in use. The Nutek specification 803299 requires automatic power down to less than 30 watts in the suspend and 8 watts in the off mode. When in the maximum power-down mode, the MultiSync XP-series monitors will consume approximately 10% of the total power drawn under normal operation. This innovation adds up to 90% energy savings, longer monitor life, environmental protection, reduced emissions, and reduced heating and air-conditioning costs of the work environment. Note: This utility can only be enabled if your video supports this feature according to DPMS of VESA or using Power Manager software. The OSM (On Screen Manager) makes the MultiSync monitor’s Digital Control System easier to use. A touch of the up front controls turns on OSM. You’ll find it easy to navigate through the menu that appears, and icons show you how the controls works. The enhanced Color Control allows you to adjust the colours on your screen to exactly what you want, thus eliminating misrepresentations and frustration. The Colorific Color Enhancement System helps you match what is on your screen to your printer output by incorporating Kodaks Color Management System in Microsoft Windows or Apple’s ColorSync Utility on the Macintosh to translate your choices to matching printed material. The OptiClear surface of the XP-series CRT dramatically reduces the reflection of ambient illumination and glare without sacrificing the focus level, clarity or brightness. Introduction E-3A 0.28 mm dot pitch in conjuktion to the Invar Shadow Mask and the Dual Dynamic Beam Focus increases the clarity and displays greater detail. Good clarity allows your eyes to flow over the screen image and more easily view the on-screen information. Up-front BNC/D-SUB Selection Button on the monitors allows you to connect two systems to one MultiSync XP-series monitor. This front panel button allows you to select a system. Use the MultiCable with the D-Sub connector to display the video of one system, and use the BNC inputs to display the video of another system. Using the same XP-series monitor, you can easily select either one of the systems by simply pushing the BNC/D-SUB Button. The Global Sync control of the model MultiSync XP21 also minimises any effects of the earths magnetic field on screen performance. Emission Test The ErgoDesign also incorporates reduced electrostatic and electromagnetic emission. NEC monitors follow the strictest magnetic field, alternating electric field, and electro-static recommendations of TCO and SWEDAC (Swedish Board for Technical Accreditation), previously known as MPR (National Board for Measurement and Testing), which specify maximum recommended values of electric and magnetic fields. NEC MultiSync Monitors conform to SWEDAC MPR 1990:8 (MPRII) and TCO 92 (with the use of an optional Lens) Testing Methods for emission. These standards are the most restrictive guidelines in the world. The Multiple Frequency Technology automatically adjusts the monitor to the video card’s scanning frequency thus displaying the resolution you require. The MultiSync XP-series also supports multiple operating platforms including IBM compatible and Macintosh family systems (with optional Macintosh-Kit). Increased Resolution adds to the image clarity, and the MultiSync XP-series provides a wider range of higher resolutions for your needs for now and in the future. E-4 IntroductionA Wide Range of Graphics Standards is displayable by the MultiSync XP17/XP21 monitor including:

Please save the original box and packing materials for transportation or shipment of this monitor. ➀ MultiSync XP17/XP21 colour monitor (JC-1743UMB/ JC-2143UMB) with removable tilt/swivel stand. ➁ MultiCable ➂ Power cord ④ Users Manual 2 Diskettes for communication channel Software Colour-Reference card for the Colorific Program. Note: The tilt/swivel stand of the monitor can be removed. There are small plastic monitor feet as an optional stand available, which fit into the bottom of the monitors cabinet. E-6 Contents of the packageRecommended use For optimum performance when setting up and using the MultiSync XP series colour monitor, please note the following: The optimum monitor position is away from direct sunlight. Place the monitor just below eye level for the ideal viewing angle. Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissipate. Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage of the cable may cause shock or fire. Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors and other devices which may create strong magnetic fields. Use the monitor in a clean, dry area. Handle with care when transporting. We recommend to adjust the brightness in a way that the background raster disappears. For ergonomical reasons we recommend not to use the position of the maximum contrast control. For ergonomical reasons the preset size and position is recommended with the standard signals. For ergonomical reasons preset colour setting and preset distortion setting is recommended. For ergonomical reasons we recommend using non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 70 and 160 Hz. For ergonomical reasons we recommend not to use the primary colour blue on dark background ( it is difficult to recognise and produces eye fatigue due to insufficient contrast). To separate the equipment from the power source you have to remove the plug from the inlet socket. Recommended use E-7The power outlet socket should be installed as near to the equipment as possible, and should be easily accessible. We recommend using the power cord supplied with the monitor. However, if another type of power cord is required, power cord H05VV-F should be used except in U.K.

Warning: Do not press the degaussing switch for more than 10 seconds.

To clean the CRT surface use a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth and an neutral cleaner based, non-abrasive cleaning solution or glass cleaner for best results.
