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)

• 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
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

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.

1.4 Important safety information
before viewing 3D
Optimal 3D viewing
For an optimal 3D viewing experience, we
recommend that you:
• Sit at a distance that is at least 45cm
• Watch the monitor away from direct
sunlight as it may interfere with the 3D
experience.
3D health warning
• If you or your family has a history of
epilepsy or photosensitive seizures, consult
a medical professional before exposing
yourself to flashing light sources, rapid
image sequences or 3D viewing.
• To avoid discomfort such as dizziness,
headache or disorientation, we recommend
not watching 3D for extended periods
of time. If you experience any discomfort,
stop watching 3D and do not immediately
engage in any potentially hazardous activity
(for example driving a car) until your
symptoms have disappeared. If symptoms
persist, do not resume watching 3D
without consulting a medical professional
first.
• Parents should monitor their children
during 3D viewing and ensure they do not
experience any discomfort as mentioned
above. Watching 3D is not recommended
for children under six years of age as their
visual system is not fully developed yet.
• Do not user the 3D glasses for any
purpose other than watching 3D images.
Care for the glasses
• Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct
sunlight, heat, fire or water. This may result
in a product malfunction or fire.
• Do not drop, bend or apply force to the
lenses of the 3D glasses.
• Use a clean soft cloth (microfiber or
cotton flannel) to clean the lenses to avoid
scratching them. Never spray cleaner
directly on the 3D glasses.
• Do not use cleaning chemicals containing
alcohol, solvent, surfactant, or was,
benzene, thinner, mosquito repellant or
lubricant. Using these chemicals can cause
discoloration or cracks.
