Safety precautions and maintenance
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.

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
Glossary
file:///D|/Grace/K1/english/200p3mg/glossary/glossary.htm (2 of 4) [6/2/2002 5:30:13 PM]
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.
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
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.
Glossary

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.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
file:///D|/Grace/K1/english/200p3mg/safety/saf_faq.htm (1 of 8) [6/2/2002 5:30:23 PM]
Q: What does "refresh rate" mean to me in an LCD monitor?
A: For LCD monitors, the refresh rate is much less relevant. LCD monitors display a stable,
flicker-free image at 60Hz. There is no visible differences between 85Hz and 60Hz.
Q: What are the .inf and .icm files on the setup disk & CD-ROM? How do I install the drivers (.inf and
.icm)?
A: These are the driver files for your monitor. Follow the instructions in your user manual to install
the drivers. You computer may ask you for monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) or a driver disk when you first install your monitor. Follow the instructions to insert the driver disk (either floppy or CD-ROM) included in this package. Monitor drivers (.inf and .icm files) will be installed automatically.
Q: How do I adjust resolution?
A: Your video card/graphic driver and monitor together determine the available resolutions. You
can select desired resolution under Window 95/98 with the "Display properties/Settings" control panel
Q: What if I get lost when making monitor adjustments?
A: Simply press the OSD button, then select "Reset" to recall all original factory settings.
Q: What is the Auto function?
A: The AUTO adjustment key restores optimal screen position, phase and clock settings with the
press of a single button – without navigation through OSD menus and control keys.
Q: My Monitor has no power (Power LED does not light) ? What should I do?
A: Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the Monitor.
Q: Will the LCD monitor accept an Interlaced signal?
A: No If an Interlace signal is used, the screen displays both odd and even horizontal scanning lines
at the same time, distorting the picture.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
file:///D|/Grace/K1/english/200p3mg/safety/saf_faq.htm (2 of 8) [6/2/2002 5:30:23 PM]
Q: Does Refresh Rate mean to LCD?
A: Unlike CRT display technology in which the speed the electron beam is swept from the top to the
bottom of the screen determines flicker, an active matrix display uses an active element (TFT) to control each individual pixel and thus refresh rate is not really applicable to LCD technology.
Q: Will the LCD screen resistant scratches?
A: A protective coating is applied onto the surface of the LCD, which is durable up to a certain
extent of hardness (approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended not to expose the panel surface to any excessive shocks or scratches. An optional protective cover with greater scratch resistance is also available.
Q: How should I clean the LCD surface?
A: For normal cleaning, use the clean, soft and fine. For extensive cleaning, please use Isopropyl
alcohol. Do not use other solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, hexane, etc.
Q: Can the Philips LCD Monitor be hung on the wall or used as touch panel?
A: Yes, Philips Brilliance LCD monitors have this optional feature. The standard VESA mount holes
on back cover that allows user to mount the Philips monitor on any VESA standard ARM or accessories. Touch panels are being developed for future applications. Check with your Philips sales representative for more information.

LCD Panel Technology
Q:
What is Liquid Crystal Display?
A: A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used to display ASCII
characters and images on digital items such as watches, calculators, portable game consoles etc. LCD is the technology used for displays in notebook and other small computers. Like light-emitting diode and gas-plasma technologies, LCD allows displays to be much thinner than cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. LCD consumes much less power than LED and gas-display displays because they work on the principle of blocking light rather than emitting it.
Q: How are LCDs made?
A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few
microns. Plates are filled with liquid crystal, then seals together. The top plate is colored with a RGB pattern to make the color filter. Then polarizers are glued to both plates. This combination is sometimes called "glass" or "cell." The LCD cell is assembled into a "module" by adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.
Q: What is polarization ?
A: Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is electromagnetic wave.
Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light beam. The direction of these fields is called "polarization direction." Normal or non-polarized light has fields in several directions; polarized light has a field in only one direction.
