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

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.

•  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
