NEC MultiSync 2A Service Manual page 4

Congratulations on purchasing a MultiSync 2A Color Monitor. We hope this User's Manual is
helpful in the installation, operation and connection of your MultiSync 2A; if not, please let us
know.
The MultiSync 2A, the intelligent Monitor from NEC, is a high resolution color monitor that
automatically adjusts or senses multiple scanning frequencies generated from graphics adapters.
The MultiSync 2A accepts horizontal scan frequencies of 31.5kHz and 35kHz and vertical scan
frequencies of 56Hz, 60Hz and 70Hz.
As you can see, "design" was the top priority with the MultiSync 2A. With the intelligence to
support the hardware timings of IBM's VGA and MCGA, the MultiSync 2A was also designed to be
compatible with many non-IB M graphics boards supporting the Super VGA resolution of 800 X
600.
The MultiSync 2A will operate with IBM PC/XT
(PS/2) series computers.
- The MultiSync 2A automatically scans horizontal frequencies of both 31.5 kHz and 35kHz,
among the vertical refresh rates of 56Hz, 60Hz and 70Hz.
-The MultiSync 2A has a maximum horizontal resolution of 800 dots by a maximum vertical
resolution of 600 lines.
-By accepting ANALOG signal inputs, the MultiSync 2A can display an unlimited palette of
colors. The number of colors displayed depends on the graphics board and software being used.
- The MultiSync 2A has a 14" diagonal, non-glare CRT, and yeilds a 13" viewing area.
- A captive signal cable is included with a 15 pin connector that's wired for IBM's VGA
configuration. Refer to Appendix B for pin assignments.
When setting up and using the MultiSync 2A, pay special attention to the following:
-To eliminate eye fatigue, do not use your MultiSync 2A against a bright bac kground or where
sunlight or other light sources will shine directly on the monitor.
-The MultiSync 2A should be placed just below eye level for optimum viewing.
-Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat from the monitor can properly
dissipate.
-Neither the monitor itself, nor any other heavy object, should rest on the power cord. Damage to
a power cord can cause fire or electrical shoc k.
-Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors and other strong
magnetic fields.
-The MultiSync 2A should not be used in damp, dusty or dirty areas.
- Handle The MultiSync 2A with care when transporting.
