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.

● If your monitor gets wet, wipe it with dry cloth as soon as possible.

● Do not use organic solvents, such as alcohol, etc., to clean your monitor.

● 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.

● Please use approved power cord provided by Philips all the time. If your power cord is

missing, please contact with your local service center. (Consumer Information Center)

● If there is any need for any document for repair or integration, please contact with your

local service center. (please refer to the chapter of "Consumer Information Center")

● For transportation information, please refer to "Physical Specifications".

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

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.

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/J/english/200p4/glossary/glossary.htm (1 of 5)7/9/2004 12:36:21 PM

Glossary

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).

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 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

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/J/english/200p4/glossary/glossary.htm (3 of 5)7/9/2004 12:36:21 PM

Glossary

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.
