1.1 Safety 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.

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 Customer Care Consumer Information Center)

• 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.

Maintenance

• To protect your monitor from possible damage, do not put excessive pressure on the LCD panel. When moving your monitor, grasp the frame to lift; do not lift 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.

1. Important

• Temperature: 0-40°C 32-95°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 “afterimaging” 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 “burned 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 “after-image” or “ghost image” symptoms 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 the chapter of "Consumer Information Center")

• 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.
