Safety Instruction

Caution:

When operating the JC-1576VMB/JC-1736VMB/JC-1736VMB-1 with

a 220-240V AC power source in Europe except UK, use the power cord

provided with the monitor.

In UK, a BS approved power cord with moulded plug has a Black (five

Amps) fuse installed for use with this equipment. If a power cord is not

supplied with this equipment please contact your supplier.

When operating the JC-1736VMR with a 220-240V AC power source

in Australia, use the power cord provided with the monitor.

For all other cases, use a power cord that matches the AC voltage of the

power outlet and has been approved by and complies with the safety

standard of your particular country.

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the MultiSync A500/A700 colour

Monitor!

The MultiSync A500/A700 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 A500/A700 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.

Screen Technology

The OptiClear Surface of the A500/A700 CRT dramatically reduces the

reflection of ambient illumination and glare resulting in greatly

improved user comfort and productivity. This multilayered screen

coating increases the contrast without sacrificing the focus level, clarity

or brightness.

A 0.28 mm dot pitch in conjunction with the Invar Shadow Mask

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.

The flat square CRT technology reduces image distortion and glare.

Plug and Play

Plug and Play is the new Microsoft® solution with Windows® 95 to

provide automatic peripheral connections without confusing and time-

consuming setup. When used with a Plug and Play compatible system

and video card, the MultiSync A500/A700 monitor automatically tells the

Introduction E - 1

system its identification and capabilities. The system will then select its

highest resolution and refresh rate to take advantage of your MultiSync

monitor.

ErgoDesign

The MultiSync ErgoDesign features enhance human ergonomics

(human and earth conditions). MultiSync monitor’s ErgoDesign will

improve the working environment, protect the health of the user and

save money. ErgoDesign parallels the strict European standards of

power management and reduced emissions:

–automatic display power-down (also known as NUTEK

specification 803299)

–emission characteristics (stricter than those referred to as

reduced electromagnetic fields as recommended by MPR II and

for JC-1736VMB-1/JC-1736VMR also by TCO)

–safety (EN 60950)

MultiSync monitors comply with these standards by offering IPM

System power management and Reduced Magnetic Field technology.

Power Manager

IPM (Intelligent Power Manager) System is an innovative power-saving

utility that complies with both the EPA’s Energy Star requirements and

Europe’s TCO NUTEK’s power management requirements. Energy Star

products use less than 30 watts when in the main power saving mode. The

NUTEK specification 803299 requires automatic power down to less than

30 watts in the suspend mode and less than 8 watts in the off mode.

When in the maximum power-down mode, the MultiSync A500/A700

monitor will consume less than 10% of the total power down under normal

operation. This innovation adds up to more than 90% energy savings, longer

monitor life, environmental protection, reduced emissions and reduced air

conditioning costs of the work environment. The IPM System increases the

monitor’s life and saves energy and costs by powering down when not in use.

MultiSync monitors follow the Video Electronics Standard Association

(VESA) approved DPMS power-down signalling method. VESA’s Display

E - 2 Introduction

Power Management Signalling (DPMS) method, which is endorsed by

the EPA, is the power-down process a system should use to

communicate to the monitor to save power. Power-down functions can

be utilised only with an Energy Star system or video card which adheres

to the VESA DPMS standard. By using the monitor’s horizontal and

vertical SYNC signals, the monitor can be prompted into the different

IPM modes. The following is the description of the LED indicator for

the IPM power-saving modes:

Mode LED Indicator Power Saving

On Green None

Stand By Green Minimum (Quickest Recovery)

Suspend Yellow Moderate (< 15 Watts, Moderate

Recovery)

Off (IPM Mode) Orange Maximum (< 8 Watts (A500)/

< 5 Watts (A700), Slow Recovery)

Off (Power

Switch, Off) No Light No Power Used (Fully Off)

Reduced Emissions

The A500/A700 monitor incorporates Reduced Magnetic Field technology

designed to reduce magnetic and alternating electric field emissions and static

electricity. NEC’s monitors follow the strictest magnetic field, alternating

electric field, and electrostatic recommendations of the Swedish Board for

Technical Accreditation, or SWEDAC (previously known as MPR, National

Board for Measurement and Testing). The JC-1736VMB-1/JC-1736VMR

follow the recommendations of the TCO which specify maximum

recommended values of electric and magnetic field.

Multiple Frequency Technology

Multiple Frequency Technology automatically adjusts the monitor to the

video card’s scanning frequency, displaying the resolution you desire.

The MultiSync A500/A700 color monitor also supports multiple

operating platforms such as PC compatible, Macintosh family and

workstation systems.

Increased refresh rates at all resolutions provide a flicker-free image.

The clearer image is easier on your eyes and extends your viewing time.

A wide range of graphics standards of PC and Macintosh computers,

including VESA standards, is supported by the MultiSync A500/A700

color monitor including:

–640 x 480: 60 - 120 Hz

–800 x 600: 55 - 100 Hz (A500) / 105 Hz (A700)

–832 x 624: 55 - 90 Hz (A500) / 100 Hz (A700)

–1024 x 768: 55 - 80 Hz (A500) / 85 Hz (A700)

(non-interlaced, 75 Hz (A500) / 85 Hz (A700) recommended)*

–1152 x 870: 55 - 70 Hz (A500) / 75 Hz (A700)

–1280 x 1024: 55 - 60 Hz (A500) / 65 Hz (A700)

(non-interlaced)**

* NEC cites recommended resolutions for optimal display performance.

** Maximum resolution based on horizontal and vertical frequencies only.

NOTE: Some system may not support all modes listed.

Horizontal and vertical FullScan capability can increase the display size

of a variety of video modes to the edges of the monitor bezel. The

FullScan capability allows you to use the entire screen area in most

resolutions, significantly expanding image size.
