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.
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.
- Keep the display away from oil. Oil may damage the plastic cover of the display and void the warranty.
- Remove any object that could fall into ventilation holes or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s electronics.
- Do not block the ventilation holes in 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 the approved power cord provided by Philips at all times. If your power cord is missing, please contact your local service center. (Please refer to the Service contact information listed in the 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.

- Excessive usage of the monitor can cause eye discomfort, so 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 of focusing on the screen.
- Conscious Blinking often while you work.
- Gently close and roll your eyes to relax.
- Reposition your screen to the appropriate height and angle according to your height.
