Safety precautions and maintenance
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than
those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock,
electrical hazards and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
Operation:
● Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.
● Remove any object that could fall into ventilation holes or prevent proper cooling of the
monitor’s electronics.
● Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
● When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
● If turning off the monitor by detaching the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6
seconds before attaching the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.
● Please use approved power cord provided by Philips all the time. If your power cord is
missing, please contact with your local service center. (Please refer to Customer Care
Consumer Information Center)
● Do not subject the LCD monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions during
operation.
● Do not knock or drop the monitor during operation or transportation.
Maintenance:
● To protect your display from possible damage, do not put excessive pressure on the LCD
panel. When moving your monitor, grasp the frame to lift; do not lift the monitor by
placing your hand or fingers on the LCD panel.
● Unplug the monitor if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.
● Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may be
wiped with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use organic solvent, such
as, alcohol, or ammonia-based liquids to clean your monitor.
● To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to
dust, rain, water, or excessive moisture environment.
● If your monitor gets wet, wipe it with dry cloth as soon as possible.
● If foreign substance or water gets in your monitor, please turn the power off immediately
and disconnect the power cord. Then, remove the foreign substance or water, and send
it to the maintenance center.
● Do not store or use the LCD monitor in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight or
extreme cold.
● In order to maintain the best performance of your monitor and use it for a longer lifetime,
please use the monitor in a location that falls within the following temperature and
humidity ranges.
❍ Temperature: 5-40°C 41-104°F

Description of the On Screen Display
What is the On-Screen Display?
This is a feature in all Philips LCD monitors. It allows an end user to adjust screen performance of
the monitors directly though an on-screen instruction window. The user interface provides userfriendliness and ease-of-use when the user is operating the monitor.
Basic and simple instruction on the control keys.
When you press the
button on the front control of your monitor, the On-Screen Display (OSD)
Main Controls window will pop up and you can then start making adjustments to your monitor's
various features. Use the
or the keys to make your adjustments.

D-SUB
Your monitor comes with a D-Sub cable.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) specification provides a high-speed digital connection for visual
data types that is display technology independent. The interface is primarily focused at providing a
connection between a computer and its display device. The DVI specification meets the needs of all
segments of the PC industry (workstation, desktop, laptop, etc.) and will enable these different
segments to unite around one monitor interface specification.

The DVI interface enables:
1. Content to remain in the lossless digital domain from creation to consumption.
2. Display technology independence.
3. Plug and play through hot plug detection, EDID and DDC2B.
4. Digital and Analog support in a single connector.

Energy Star Computers Programme
An energy conservation programme launched by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
with the primary aim of promoting the manufacture and marketing of energy-efficient office
automation equipment. Companies joining this programme must be willing to commit themselves to
manufacturing one or more products capable of going into a low -power state (< 30 W) either after a
period of inactivity or after a predetermined time selected by the user.

LCD Liquid Crystal Display
An alphanumeric display using the unique properties of liquid crystal to form characters. The latest
flat-panel displays comprise a matrix of hundreds or thousands of individual LCD cells that generate
text and colorful graphics on a screen. They consume little power though they do require external
lighting to make them legible to the user.

U
USB or Universal Serial Bus
A smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like driver software and
bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources available without user
intervention.
● USB eliminates "case angst" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on
peripherals. And USB also eliminates adjustment of complicated IRQ settings when installing
new peripherals.
● USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited to one printer,
two Com port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on
(scanner or video camera, for example) and a joystick. More and more peripherals for
multimedia computers arrive on the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run
simultaneously on a computer.
● USB permits "hot plug-in." There's no need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set-up to
install peripherals. And no need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device.
In short, USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!
Hub
A Universal Serial Bus device that provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus.
Hubs are a key element in the plug-and-play architecture of USB. The Figure shows a typical hub.
Hubs serve to simplify USB connectivity from the user's perspective and provide robustness at low
cost and complexity.
Hubs are wiring concentrators and enable the multiple attachment characteristics of USB.
Attachment points are referred to as ports. Each hub converts a single attachment point into
multiple attachment points. The architecture supports concatenation of multiple hubs.
The upstream port of a hub connects the hub towards the host. Each of the other downstream ports
of a hub allows connection to another hub or function. Hubs can detect, attach and detach at each
downstream port and enable the distribution of power to downstream devices. Each downstream
port can be individually enabled and configured at either full or low speed. The hub isolates low
speed ports from full speed signaling.
file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/150E6FB/ENGLISH/150e6/glossary/glossary.htm (3 of 5)2005-05-27 9:26:33 AM
Glossary
A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocolcontrolled switch between the upstream port and downstream ports. It also has hardware support
for reset and suspend/resume signaling. The controller provides the interface registers to allow
communication to/from the host. Hub specific status and control commands permit the host to
configure a hub and to monitor and control its ports.
Device
A logical or physical entity that performs a function. The actual entity described depends on the
context of the reference. At the lowest level, device may refer to a single hardware component, as
in a memory device. At a higher level, it may refer to a collection of hardware components that
perform a particular function, such as a Universal Serial Bus interface device. At an even higher
level, device may refer to the function performed by an entity attached to the Universal Serial Bus;
for example, a data/FAX modem device. Devices may be physical, electrical, addressable, and
logical.
Downstream
The direction of data flow from the host or away from the host. A downstream port is the port on a
hub electrically farthest from the host that generates downstream data traffic from the hub.
Downstream ports receive upstream data traffic.
Upstream
The direction of data flow towards the host. An upstream port is the port on a device electrically
closest to the host that generates upstream data traffic from the hub. Upstream ports receive
downstream data traffic.
