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.
•
To avoid potential damage, for example
the panel peeling from the bezel, ensure
that the monitor does not tilt downward
by more than -5 degrees. If the -5 degree
downward tilt angle maximum is exceeded,
the monitor damage will not be covered
under warranty.
•
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.
• Gently closing and rolling your eyes to
relax.
