1.1  Safety precautions and

 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 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 monitor 
panel. When moving your monitor, 
grasp the frame to lift; do not lift 
the monitor by placing your hand or 
fingers on the monitor 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.
