Warranty

• Risk of injury, damage to monitor or void
of warranty! Never attempt to repair the
monitor yourself.

• Use the monitor and accessories only as
intended by the manufacturer.

• Any operation expressly prohibited in
this manual, or any adjustments and
assembly procedures not recommended

warranty.

• Warranty coverage begins from the day
you purchase your monitor. For two years
thereafter, your monitor will be replaced
by at least an equivalent monitor in case
of defects provided by the warranty

2 Important

Read and understand all instructions before you
use your monitor. If damage is caused by failure
to follow instructions, the warranty does not
apply.

Safety

• Risk of electric shock or re!

• Never expose the monitor to rain or

water. Never place liquid containers,

from the power outlet immediately.
Contact Philips Consumer Care to
have the monitor checked before

cord can loosen connections and
cause arcing.

• Risk of short circuit or re!

• Never expose the remote control or

batteries to rain, water or excessive
heat.

plugs. Loose power plugs can cause

arcing or re.

• Risk of injury or damage to the monitor!

• Two people are required to lif t and

carry a monitor that weights more
than 25 kg.

• When stand mounting the monitor,
use only the supplied stand. Secure
the stand to the monitor tightly. Place

the monitor on a at, level surface

that can support the combined
weight of the monitor and the stand.

• When wall mounting the monitor,
use only a wall mount that can
support the weight of the monitor.
Secure the wall mount to a wall that
can support the combined weight
of the monitor and wall mount.
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.
bears no responsibility for improper
wall mounting that results in accident,
injury or damage.

• Risk of injury to children! Follow these
precautions to prevent the monitor
from toppling over and causing injury to
children:

• Never place the monitor on a surface

covered by a cloth or other material
that can be pulled away.

• Ensure that no part of the monitor

hangs over the edge of the sur face.

• Never place the monitor on tall

furniture (such as a bookcase)
without anchoring both the furniture
and monitor to the wall or a suitable
support.

• Educate children about the dangers

of climbing on furniture to reach the
monitor.

• Risk of overheating! Never install the
monitor in conned space. Always leave

at least 4 inches of space around the
monitor for ventilation. Ensure cur tains or
other objects never cover the ventilation
slots on the monitor.

• Risk of damage to the monitor! Before
you connect the monitor to the power
outlet, ensure that the power voltage
matches the value printed on the back of
the monitor. Never connect the monitor
to the power outlet if the voltage is
different.
