Safety precautions and maintenance

WARNING: 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 monitor:

Operation:

•Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.

•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 cord, wait for 6 seconds before attaching the 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.

•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.

Maintenance:

•To protect your monitor from possible damage, do not put excessive pressure on the LCD panel. When moving your monitor, grasp the frame to lift; do not lift the monitor by placing your hand or fingers on the LCD panel.

•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 immediately 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 locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight or extreme cold.

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

-Temperature: 0 ~ 40C 32-95F

-Humidity: 20-80% RH

IMPORTANT: Always activate a moving screen saver program when you leave your monitor unattended. Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if your monitor will display unchanging static content. Uninterrupted display of still or static images over an extended period may cause “burn in”, also known as “after-imaging” or “ghost imaging”, on your screen. "Burn-in", "after-imaging", or "ghost imaging" is a wellknown phenomenon in LCD panel technology. In most cases, the “burned in” or “afterimaging” or “ghost imaging” will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off.

WARNING: Severe "burn-in" or "after-image" or "ghost image" symptoms will not disappear and cannot be repaired. The damage mentioned above is not covered under your warranty.
