Operation

• 

Please Keep the monitor out of direct

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 ac-
cessible.

• 

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 Customer 
Care Consumer Information Center)

• 

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. 

• 

If foreign substance or water gets in your 
monitor, please turn the power off immedi-
ately 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 loca-
tions exposed to heat, direct sunlight or 
extreme cold.

• 

In order to maintain the best performance 
of your monitor and use it for a longer life-
time, please use the monitor in a location 
that falls within the following temperature 
and humidity ranges.
