This electronic user’s guide is intended 
for anyone who uses the Philips 
monitor. Take time to read this user's 
manual before you use your monitor. 
It contains important information and 
notes regarding the operation of your 
monitor.

The Philips guarantee applies provided 
the product is handled properly for 
its intended use, in accordance with 
its operating instructions and upon 
presentation of the original invoice 
or cash receipt, indicating the date of 
purchase, dealer’s name and model and 
production number of the product.

1.1  Safety precautions and 

maintenance

 

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.
Excessive sound pressure from 
earphones and headphones can cause 
hearing loss. Adjustment of the 
equalizer to maximum increases the 
earphones and headphones output 
voltage and therefore the sound 
pressure level.

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 detach-
ing 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 Con-
sumer Information Center) 

• 

Do not subject the monitor to se-
vere vibration or high impact condi-
tions 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 
screen for a constant period of time 
by : 

• 

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

• 

Conscious Blinking often while 
you work.
