If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate 3-pin plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

NOTE: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE -“NEUTRAL”(“N”)
BROWN -“LIVE”(“L”)
GREEN&YELLOW -“EARTH”(“E”)

1. The GREEN&YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by the Earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN&YELLOW.
2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.
3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured RED.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead – not simply over the three wires.

Customer care and warranty

7.1 Philips’ Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect Policy

Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry’s most advanced manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub pixel defects on the TFT Monitor panels used in  flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any monitor with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced  under warranty. This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect levels for each type. In order to qualify for repair or replacement under warranty, the number of pixel defects on a TFT Monitor panel  must exceed these acceptable levels. For example, no more than 0.0004% of the sub pixels on a monitor may be defective.
Furthermore, Philips sets even higher quality standards for certain types or combinations of pixel defects that are more noticeable than others. This policy is valid worldwide.

Pixels and Sub pixels
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue. Many pixels together form an image. When all sub pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored sub pixels together appear as a single  white pixel. When all are dark, the three colored sub pixels together appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and dark sub pixels appear as single pixels of other colors.

Types of Pixel Defects
Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are two categories of pixel defects and several types of sub pixel defects within each category.

Bright Dot Defects
Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or ‘on’. That is, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a dark pattern. There are the types of bright dot defects.

One lit red, green or blue sub pixel.

Two adjacent lit sub pixels:

• Red + Blue = Purple
• Red + Green = Yellow
• Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)

Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel).

Note
A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50 percent brighter than neighboring dots while a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than neighboring dots.

Black Dot Defects
Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always dark or ‘off’. That is, a dark dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when the monitor displays a light pattern. These are the types of black dot defects.

Proximity of Pixel Defects
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that are near to one another may be more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects.

Pixel Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a TFT Monitor panel in a Philips flat panel monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following tables.

Note

1. 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
2. This monitor is ISO9241-307 compliant (ISO9241-307: Ergonomic requirement, analysis and compliance test methods for electronic visual displays)

Ans.:

• Please check if your mobile device is MHL certified.

• You also need to have a MHL certified cable to connect the devices.

• Make sure that you have connected to the MHL-HDMI port, and that correct input is selected on the Monitor via the input selector (front bezel or OSD)

• The product is officially MHL-certified. As this monitor is a passive display, if you encounter any unexpected troubles when using the MHL input, please refer to the mobile device’s user manual or contact the manufacturer of the  mobile device.
  

• Make sure your mobile device has not entered standby (sleep) mode. If it has, then you will see a notification message on the display. Once the mobile device wakes up, the monitor’s display will wake and show the images. You may  need to make sure that the correct input is selected if in between you have used or connected any other device
