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
1. Important
• Temperature: 0-40°C 32-95°F
• Humidity: 20-80% RH
• IMPORTANT: 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
“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 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
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.
