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. The screen may be wiped

with a dry cloth 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 you have followed

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 the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds

before attaching 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.

● 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 an 'after-image'
or 'ghost image' on front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the
shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases, the after-image will disappear
gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware, that the after-

image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when the operating instructions
given in this manual have been followed.

● Do not subject the LCD monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. Do not place the

LCD monitor in the trunk of a car.

● Take care not to mishandle this product by either knocking or dropping it during operation or

transportation.

● Do not store or use the LCD monitor in locations where there is a high level of humidity or in

dusty environments. Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or into the LCD monitor.

sRGB

sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different devices (e.g. digital
cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)

Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB compatible
device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In that way, the colors are calibrated and you
can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen.

Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a
predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important to select the sRGB setting in the
monitor's OSD.

To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your monitor. Use the down button
to go to Adjust Color and press OK again. Then move the down button to go to sRGB and press OK
again.

Exit this OSD.

After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change either
of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 6500K.

For more information on sRGB, please visit: www.srgb.com

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. Reduce signal loss and video noise in signal due to less signal conversion.

2. Independent from display technology, and can be used on LCD, Plasma, LCOS, etc.

3. Plug and play through hot plug detection, EDID and DDC2B.

4. Digital and Analog support in a single connector (DVI-I only).

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 anxiety" -- the fear of removing the computer case to install add-on

peripherals. 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 providing 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.

A hub consists of two portions: the Hub Controller and Hub Repeater. The repeater is a protocol-controlled
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

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/W9/english/190b5/glossary/glossary.htm (3 of 5) [3/16/2004 1:47:39 PM]

Glossary

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.
