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 Customer Care

● Do not subject the LCD monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions during
operation.
● Do not knock or drop the monitor during operation or transportation.
Maintenance:

please use the monitor in a location that falls within the following temperature and
humidity ranges.

monitor unattended. Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if your LCD
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 well-
known phenomenon in LCD panel technology. In most cases, the “burned in”or “after-
imaging”or “ghost imaging”will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power
