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 Service
contact information listed in
Important information manual.)

• Operate under the specified power
supply. Be sure to operate the
monitor only with the specified
power supply. Use of an incorrect
voltage will cause malfunction and
may cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not disassemble the AC adapter.
Disassembling the AC adapter may
expose you to the danger of fire or
electric shock.

• Protect the cable. Do not pull or
bend the power cable and signal
cable. Do not place the monitor
or any other heavy objects on the
cables, if damaged, the cables may
cause fire or electric shock.

• 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

1

1. Important

by :

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

eyes to relax.

• Reposition your screen to ap­propriate height and angle ac­cording to your height.

going to use it for an extensive
period of time.

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.

the power cord. Then, remove the
foreign substance or water, and
send it to the maintenance center.

• Temperature: 0-40°C 32-104°F

• Humidity: 20-80% RH

Important information for Burn-in/
Ghost image

• 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
