Frequently Asked Questions - MultiSync LCD1525XBK NEC

How to connect the monitor to a Macintosh computer?

For Macintosh G3 and G4, plug the mini 15-pin D-SUB signal cable directly. For other models, use the supplied Macintosh cable adapter. Connect the adapter to the computer, then the D-SUB cable to the adapter.

How to set the optimal resolution?

The optimal resolution is 1024 x 768. Use your operating system's display settings to set this resolution. If a notification message appears, you can disable it in the OSM Tools menu.

What to do if the screen displays 'No Signal'?

Check that the video cable is properly connected to both the monitor and the computer. Press the PROCEED button to open the DVI input selection control and choose the correct source. If the problem persists, check that the computer is on and the graphics card is sending a signal.

How to use the monitor's USB hub?

Connect the USB cable (Type B) to the upstream port on the back of the monitor and to a USB port on your computer. The downstream ports on the side of the monitor can then be used to plug in USB devices.

How to clean the LCD screen?

Use a soft, lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Never use cleaning solution, glass cleaner, or chemicals. Wipe gently without pressing on the screen.

What does the 'Out of Range' message mean?

This message appears when the resolution or refresh rate is not supported by the monitor. The optimal resolution is 1024 x 768. Set your computer's display settings within the monitor's supported limits (horizontal and vertical frequencies).

How to reset to factory settings?

In the OSM menu, go to the Tools submenu and select 'Factory Preset'. Press and hold the RESET button for several seconds. You can also reset an individual setting by highlighting it and pressing RESET.

Can I automatically switch between two connected computers?

Yes, via the Video Detection function in the OSM menu. Choose 'First Detected' to automatically switch to the active source, or 'Last Detected' to switch to the last detected source. 'None' mode requires manual switching.

How to lock the OSM controls?

To lock, press and hold the PROCEED and ▲ buttons simultaneously. To unlock, repeat the same operation. A screen will indicate that the controls are locked.

What are the available color presets?

Five presets (1 to 5) are available, each factory-set to a specific color temperature (Degrees Kelvin). If you modify a preset, its name becomes 'Custom'. You can also individually adjust the red, green, and blue gains from 0 to 100%.

Recommended Use

Safety Precautions and Maintenance

For optimum performance, please note the following when setting up and using the MultiSync LCD colour monitor:

• DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. 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.
• 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 that is easily accessible.
• When operating the MultiSync LCD monitor with its AC100-240V power supply, use a power supply cord that matches the power supply voltage of the AC power outlet being used. The power supply cord you use must have been approved by and comply with the safety standards of your country.
• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.
• The inside of the fluorescent tube located within the LCD monitor contains mercury. Please follow the bylaws or rules of your local municipality to dispose of this tube properly.
• Do not bend power cord.
• Do not use monitor in high temperatured, humid, dusty, or oily areas.
• Do not cover vent on monitor.

English-10

• If monitor is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal.
• If glass is broken. Handle with care.

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 is damaged.

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.
• 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 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm from your eyes. The optimal distance is 53 cm for the MultiSync LCD1525X monitor.
• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 6 m 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 the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!
• 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.
• Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image effects).
• Get regular eye checkups.
