Safety Instruction
Caution:
When operating the JC-2145UMB 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-2145UMR 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 P1150 colour Monitor!
The MultiSync P1150 monitor includes the aperture grille CRT,
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 P1150 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.
CRT Technology
The MultiSync P1150 features aperture grille CRT technology, which
delivers superior vertical definition as a result of striped phosphor
alignment, as well as improved brightness for more uniform image
contrast without loss of focus.
The aperture-grille CRT has Dual Dynamic Beam Focus which
provides precise and continous focus adjustment of the electron beams .
Dual Dynamic Beam Focus provides optimum image quality, even to
the far edges of the screen.
The OptiClear Surface of the P1150 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 high contrast screen with 0.28 mm horizontal pitch sharpens image
clarity and enhances detail. On-screen information is easier to read.
Introduction E - 1

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 P1150 monitor automatically tells
the system its identification and capabilities. The system will then select
its highest resolution and refresh rate to take advantage of your
MultiSync monitor.
BNC/D-SUB Selection
Up-front BNC/D-SUB Selection Button on the monitors allows you to
connect two systems to one MultiSync P1150 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 P1150
monitor, you can easily select either one of the systems by simply
pushing the BNC/D-SUB Button.
GlobalSync
Eliminates color impurity that may result from Earth’s magnetic field.
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-2145UMB, also by TCO)
–safety (EN 60950)
E - 2 Introduction

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 P1150
monitor will consume less than 10% of the total power drawn 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 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 (< 20 Watts, Moderate
Recovery)
Off (IPM Mode) Orange Maximum (< 5 Watts, Slow Recovery)
Off (Power Switch, Off) No Light No Power Used (Fully Off)

Reduced Emissions
The P1150 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-2145UMB follow the
recommendations of the TCO which specify maximum recommended values
of electric and magnetic fields.
Multiple Frequency Technology
Multiple Frequency Technology automatically adjusts the monitor to the
video card’s scanning frequency, displaying the resolution you desire. The
MultiSync P1150 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 P1150 color
monitor including:
–640 x 480: 60 - 160 Hz vertical refresh
–800 x 600: 55 - 145 Hz vertical refresh
–832 x 624: 55 - 140 Hz vertical refresh
–1024 x 768: 55 - 115 Hz vertical refresh
–1152 x 870: 55 - 100 Hz vertical refresh
–1280 x 1024: 55 - 85 Hz vertical refresh (non-interlaced, 85 Hz
recommended)*
–1600 x 1200: 55 - 75 Hz vertical refresh (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.
E - 4 Introduction

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.
