•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 at all times. If your power cord is missing, please contact 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.

•Excessive usage of monitor can cause eye discomfort, it’s better to take shorter breaks more often at your workstation than longer breaks and less often; for example a 5-10 minute break after 50-60-minute continuous screen use is likely to be better than a 15-minute break every two hours. Try to keep your eyes from eye strain while using the screen for a constant period of time by :

•Looking at something varying distances after a long period focusing on the screen.

•Conscious Blinking often while you work.

•Gently closing and rolling your eyes to relax.

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.

•Temperature: 0-40°C 32-104°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 “afterimage” or “ghost image” symptoms that will not disappear and cannot be

repaired. The damage mentioned above is not covered under your warranty.
