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 afterimage 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.

file:///D|/My%20Documents/dfu/C_model/english/170c5/product/product.htm (2 of 7)2004-11-29 8:10:16 AM

Product Information

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.

* This data is subject to change without notice.

Q&A

Q1. What is SmartControl?

A. SmartControl is a control panel extension, which helps users to adjust monitor performances and

settings by a software interface, instead of the hardware buttons at the front bezel of the monitors.

Q2. I change the monitor on a PC to a different one and the SmartControl becomes un-usable, what

do I do?

A. Restart your PC and see if SmartControl can work. Otherwise, you will need to remove and re-

install SmartControl to ensure proper driver is installed.

Q3. The SmartControl functions well at the beginning, but it is not workable, what can I do?

A. If the following actions were executed, the monitor driver may need to be re-installed.

● Change video graphic adapter to another one

● Update video driver

● Activities on OS, such as service pack or patch

● Run Windows Update and updated monitor and/or video driver

● Windows was booted with the monitor power off or disconnected.

To find out, please right click My Computer and click on Properties->Hardware-> Device Manager. If you see "Plug and Play Monitor" shows under Monitor, then you need to re-install. Simply remove SmartControl and re-install it.

Q4. After installing SmartControl, when clicking on SmartControl tab, nothing shows up after a while

or a failure message shows, what happened?

A. It might be your graphic adaptor is not compatible with the SmartControl. If your graphic adaptor

is one of the above mentioned brands, try to download the most updated graphic adaptor driver from corresponding companies' web site. Install the driver. Remove SmartControl, and re-install it

once more.

If it is still not working, we are sorry that the graphic adaptor is not supported. Please pay attention to Philips' web site for any updated SmartControl driver available.

Q5. When I click on Product Information, only partial information is shown, what happened?

A. It might be your graphic card adaptor driver is not the most updated version which fully

supporting DDC/CI interface. Please try to download the most updated graphic adaptor driver from corresponding companies' web site. Install the driver. Remove SmartControl, and re-install it once more.

Q6. In a monitor with the LightFrame feature, when LightFrame is enabled, sRGB adjustment in

SmartControl is not responding, why?

A. When LightFrame is enabled, the sRGB adjustment is disabled automatically. To use sRGB, you

need to disable LightFrame first.
