It contains important information and
notes regarding the operation of your
monitor.

The Philips guarantee applies provided
the product is handled properly for
its intended use, in accordance with
its operating instructions and upon
presentation of the original invoice
or cash receipt, indicating the date of
purchase, dealer’s name and model and
production number of the product.

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 o 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.

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 ngers 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 o.
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

1. Important

o 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 mov-

ing 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 o.

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 qualied 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 Specica­tions".

• 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.

2.3 MHL (Mobile High-Deni-

MHL

tion Link) introduction

(246E7QD/246E7QDA/
276E7QD/276E7QDA)

What is it?

Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) is
a mobile audio/video interface for
directly connecting mobile phones
and other portable devices to high­definition displays.

An optional MHL cable allows you
to simply connect your MHL capable
mobile device to this large Philips MHL
display, and watch your HD videos
come to life with full digital sound.
Now not only you can enjoy your
mobile games, photos, movies, or
other apps on its big screen, you can
simultaneously charge your mobile
device so you never run out of power
half way.

How do I use the MHL function?

To use the MHL function, you need an
MHL-Certified mobile device. To find
a list of MHL-certified devices, visit
the official MHL website (http://www.
mhlconsortium.org)

You also need a optional MHL certified
special cable in order to use this
function.

How does it work? (how do I

connect?)

Connect the Optional MHL cable to the
mini USB port on the mobile device
side, and the [MHL-HDMI] marked
port on the monitor side. You are now
ready to view the images on your big
screen display and operate all function
on you the mobile device such as
internet surfing, game playing, photo
browsing…etc. if your monitor has
speaker function, then you will be able
to hear accompanying sound too. When
the MHL cable is disconnected or the

mobile device is turned off, the MHL
function will be automatically disabled.

Note

• The port marked [MHL-HDMI] is the
only port on the monitor that sup­ports the MHL function when the
MHL cable is used. Note that the
MHL certied cable is dierent than
a standard HDMI cable.

• A mobile device with MHL certica­tion must be purchased separately

• You may have to manually switch
the monitor to MHL-HDMI mode in
order to activate the monitor, if you
have other devices already working
and connected to available inputs

• Standby/O energy saving of ErP is
not applicable for the MHL charging
functionality

• This Philips display is MHL certied.
However, in case your MHL device
does not connect or work correctly,
check with your MHL device FAQ
or vendor directly for direction. The
policy of your device manufacturer
may require you to purchase their
brand specic MHL cable or adapter
in order to work.
