1.1Safety precautions and maintenance

Warnings

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.

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the earphones and headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure level.

Operation

•Please Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight, very strong bright lights and away from any other heat source. Lengthy exposure to this type of environment may result in discoloration and damage to the monitor.

•Remove any object that could fall into ventilation holes or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics.

•Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.

•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.

•Please use approved power cord provided by Philips all the time. If your power cord is missing, please contact with your local service center. (Please refer to Service contact information listed in Important information manual.)

•Operate under the specified power supply. Be sure to operate the monitor only with the specified power supply. Use of an incorrect voltage will cause malfunction and may cause fire or electric shock.

•Protect the cable. Do not pull or bend the power cable and signal cable. Do not place the monitor or any other heavy objects on the cables, if damaged, the cables may cause fire or electric shock.

•Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions during operation.

•Do not knock or drop the monitor during operation or transportation.

the monitor by placing your hand or fingers on the LCD panel.

•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 organic solvent, such as, alcohol, or ammonia-based liquids to clean your monitor.

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

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

•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.

•Do not store or use the monitor in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight or extreme cold.

•In order to maintain the best performance of your monitor and use it for a longer lifetime, please use the monitor in a location that falls within the following temperature and humidity ranges.

•Temperature: 0-40°C 32-104°F

•Humidity: 20-80% RH

Important information for Burn-in/ Ghost image

•Always activate a moving screen saver program when you leave your monitor unattended. Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if your monitor will display unchanging static content.

Uninterrupted display of still or static images over an extended period may cause “burn-in”, also known as “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging”, on your screen.

•“Burn-in”, “after-imaging”, or “ghost imaging” is a well-known phenomenon in LCD panel technology. In most cases, the “burn-in” or “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging” will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off.

Warning

Failure to activate a screen saver, or a periodic screen refresh application

may result in severe “burn-in” or “afterimage” or “ghost image” symptoms that will not disappear and cannot be repaired. The damage mentioned above is not covered under your warranty.

Service

•The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.

•If there is any need for any document for repair or integration, please contact with your local service center. (Please refer to Service contact information listed in Important information manual.)

•For transportation information, please refer to “Technical Specifications”.

•Do not leave your monitor in a car/ trunk under direct sun light.

Note

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally, or you are not sure what procedure to take when the operating instructions given in this manual have been followed.
