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:

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. Wiping the screen with a dry

cloth is possible when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based liquids.

●

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when following the instructions in this manual.

●

The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.● Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.● Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics.● Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.● Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.● When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.● If turning off the monitor by detaching power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds, then attach

the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.

●

To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or excessive moisture.

●

When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.● IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application . If a still image in high

contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave a so called "after-image" or "ghost image" in front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in the LCD technology. Most of the time the after-image will disappear gradually over a period of time after switching off the power. Be aware that the after-image symptom can not be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

●

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when operating instructions of this manual are followed.

Description of the On Screen Display

What is the On-Screen Display?

This is a feature in all Philips LCD monitors which allows an end-user to adjust screen performance of monitors directly though an on-screen instruction window. The user interface provides user-friendliness and ease-of-use when operating the monitor.

Basic and simple instruction on the control keys.

On the front controls of your monitor, once you press the

button, the On Screen Display (OSD) Main

Controls window will pop up and you can now start making adjustments to your monitor's various features. Use the

or the keys to make your adjustments within.

Color temperature

A way of describing the color of a radiating source in terms of the temperature (in degrees Kelvin) of a black body radiating with the same dominant frequency as the source.

Most Philips monitors offer the possibility of setting the color temperature to any desired value.

D-SUB USB

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:

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

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.

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!
