This symbol informs that there are contents that demand caution (including warnings).
This symbol indicates a prohibited matter.
This symbol indicates something that must be done.

WARNING

When installing the plasma display or making angle adjustments, be sure to make a request for service with
the dealer and ensure the work is performed according to this manual. Incorrect installation and angle
adjustments may result in the plasma display falling and causing injury.

To prevent the plasma display from falling, the strength of the installation place and the method of fastening
must support the combined weight of the plasma display and the mounting unit for an extended period of
time as well as withstand earthquakes. Improper installation may result in the plasma display falling and
causing injury. Be sure to observe the following matters.

- An electrical outlet should be used for the power supply of the plasma display. Direct connection to a
power cable is dangerous and should not be used. Please use a power outlet that can be reached to allow
the insertion and withdrawal of the power plug.

- Installation for Wooden Walls
The load should by all means be carried by beams, and when the strength of the beams is insufficient, they
should be strengthened.The installation should not be made to skirting or supporting members.The load
should also be carried by beams when there is a steel beam suspended ceiling; installation should not be
made to the ceiling suspension fittings.

- Installation for Concrete Walls
Commercial anchors that are strong enough to easily support the load of the plasma display should be
used.

To ensure safety, bolts and screws must be tightened securely. Be sure to use the supplied parts for the
brackets and the other fittings. Failure to do so may result in the plasma display falling and causing injury.

When aligning the grooves of the display fittings to the fixed unit, check to make sure that they are securely
engaged. Failure to do so may result in the plasma display falling and causing injury.

Ignoring this indication and improper handling could be the
cause of personal injury such as a serious injury or death.

Do not modify any parts. Failure to do so may result in the plasma display falling and causing injury.

Do not use any damaged parts. Failure to do so may result in the plasma display falling and causing injury. In
the event that any parts are damaged, please contact the dealer.

This plasma display mounting unit is for use only with PHILIPS 50 inch plasma displays. Do not use with any
other equipment since the equipment could fall and cause injury.

CAUTION

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes of the plasma display. Doing so will prevent the dissipation of heat
and may result a fire. Do not use the plasma display in the following ways:
Do not install the plasma display in a tight place where ventilation is poor, place a cover on it, etc.

Do not install the plasma display in front of the vents of an air conditioner or heater, or in a place where
there is strong vibration. Doing so may result in fire or electrical shock.

Do not install the plasma display in humid or dusty places, or where it will be exposed to greasy smoke or
steam (such as near cooking equipment or humidifiers). Doing so may result in a fire. Do not use the
plasma display outdoors. Doing so may result in a fire or electrical shock.

The plasma display shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on it.

Leave sufficient space around the plasma display when installing it.
Failure to do so may load to head buildup within the display and could result in fire.

Hold the plasma display in place while attaching it to the unit. Failing to do so may lead to it falling and
causing injury.

Ignoring this indication and improper handling could cause injury
to a person or damage to the surrounding household belongings.

Installation Location

Avoid rooms with a lot of dust, humidity, greasy smoke, or tobacco smoke.

Dirt will adhere to the surface of the display monitor screen and cause a deterioration in image quality.

Avoid places in which the screen is exposed to direct sunlight or illumination light.

When surrounding light hits the screen directly, the image appears washed out and is difficult to view.

Avoid places which reach high temperatures or low temperatures.

Such extreme temperatures will cause breakdown.

enough so that it meets safety standards.

& Mount the display (to which the display fittings have already

been attached) to the wall mounting unit.

é Fit the upper hooks of the display fittings into the grooves

of the (upper) wall fittings and adjust for level positioning.

Note: It is recommended that the power cable and various signal
cables be plugged into the display before mounting the display.
After mounting the display, plugging in the cables may be difficult.

If the display is tilted to the left or right, the display fitting is
not properly placed on the wall mounting unit. Slide in the
direction of the lower side and adjust for level positioning.

“ Anchor the plasma display.

Align the thumb screw, which is located at the bottom of
the display fitting, with the hole of the (lower) wall-side
fitting and tighten to anchor.
Fasten securely until the screw ceases to turn.

To remove the display, loosen the thumb screws until they
come out of the hole.
Pull the bottom portion of the display towards you and lift
upward to release the display.

operated in a commercial environment.This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

15Table of Signals Supported

Before calling Service

Ambient temperature

Do not hang up the monitor above a
central heating or other heating sources.
If the power/standby indicator in front is
red and blinking, the temperature inside
the monitor has become too high and has
activated the protector.The monitor will
be turned off. Unplug the power cord and
wait for the monitor to cool down.

Care of the screen

Clean the anti-reflex coated flat glass
screen with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do
not use abrasives solvents as it can
damage the glass surface of the screen.

Plasma Display characteristics
Caution:A video source (such as a video

game, DVD, or TV information channel)
which shows a constant non-moving
pattern on the monitor, can cause damage
to the screen.When your Flat-TV is
continuously used with such a source, the
pattern of the non-moving portion of the
game (DVD, etc.) could leave an image
permanently on the screen.When not in
use, turn the video source OFF.

To prevent or to reduce burn-in of the
screen, select a

OPTIONS1 menu. See p. 11.

Very incidentally and after a longer period
of unuse (approx. 1 year) the screen may
display some strange colour deficiencies.
This is quite normal for plasma displays
and these effects will disappear after the
set has been turned on for some time.

A plasma display consists of more than 1,2
Million color pixels. It is within industry
standards that very few pixels (< 0.001%)
may be defective, even for a new set.
There is however no reason to doubt
about the quality of the set.

The plasma display technology operates
with rare gases which are being influenced
by air pressure. Up to an altitude of 6526ft
above sea-level (local air pressure equal or
above 800 hPa), the display is functioning
fine. Operating the set at a higher altitude
(lower air pressure), the picture becomes
unstable and the picture performance is
deteriorating.

LONG LIFE setting in the

The plasma display might then also
produce a humming sound.After bringing
the set below 6526 ft (local air pressure
equal or above 800 hPa) it works fine
again.Transportation has no influence.

Control of peripheral equipment

The infrared radiation of the screen may
influence the reception sensitivity of other
peripherals. Solution: replace the batteries
of the remote control or change position
of other equipment. E.g. keep away a
wireless headphone from within a radius
of 4.92 ft.

No stable or not synchronized VGA
picture

Check if you have selected the correct
display mode in your PC. See Table of
Signal Supported.

No picture

Are the supplied cables connected
properly? (The power cable to the display,
the VGA cables,...)
Is your PC switched on?
Do you see a black screen and the
indicator in front of the monitor lights up
green, this means that the display mode is
not supported.
Switch your VGA source to a correct
mode.

Remote control

If your monitor no longer responds to the
remote control, the batteries may be
exhausted.

If your problem is not solved:

Switch your monitor off and then on
again.

Never attempt to repair a defective
monitor yourself.

Check with your dealer or call a TV
technician.

Transport

Keep the original packaging to transport the
monitor if needed.

End of life directives

Philips is paying a lot of attention to
produce environmentally-friendly in green
focal areas.Your new monitor contains
materials which can be recycled and
reused.
At the end of its life specialized companies
can dismantle the discarded monitor to
concentrate the reusable materials and to
minimize the amount of materials to be
disposed of.
Please ensure you dispose of your old
monitor according to local regulations.

How to dispose of batteries ?

The batteries supplied do not contain the
heavy metals mercury and cadmium.
Nevertheless in many countries batteries
may not be disposed of with your
household waste. Please ensure you dispose
of batteries according to local regulations.
