USB

Connections

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an innovation in connecting your IBM-compatible computer to your monitor. By using the USB, you will be able to connect your keyboard, mouse, printer, and other peripherals to your monitor instead of having to connect them to your computer. This will give you greater flexibility in setting up your system. Plus, you will have true plug-and-play capability. While the software is still being developed, Philips has included the hardware so you will be ready to take advantage of this next generation in computer development.

For an IBM-compatible Computer:

1.Turn off the computer.

2.Connect the (optional) USB Hub and cable to the computer and to the monitor. (Computer must have USB port.)

3.Connect the power cable.

4.Turn on the monitor. Then turn on the computer.

5.With the installation of the correct software, you will be able to connect specially-made peripherals to the monitor.

Note: USB Hub and cables sold separately. USB Bay exists in back of monitor.
