1.1 Safety precautions and
maintenance
Warnings
The use of controls, adjustments, or
procedures other than those specified
in this document may result in exposure
to shock, electrical hazards, and/or
mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when
connecting and using your monitor.
Excessive sound pressure from
earphones and headphones can
cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the
equalizer to maximum capacity increases
the earphones and headphones output
voltage; thereby increasing the sound
pressure level.
Operation
• Please keep the monitor out of
direct sunlight. 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 before returning to
normal operation.
• Please use the approved power
cord provided by Philips all the
times. If your power cord is missing,
please contact your local service
center. (Please refer to the Service
contact information located in the
Important information manual.)
• Operate under the specified power
supply. Use of incorrect voltage will
cause malfunction and may cause
fire or electric shock.
• Protect the cable. Do not pull or
bend the power cable and signal
cable. Do not place the monitor
or any other heavy objects on the
cables. If damaged, the cables may
cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not subject the monitor to severe
vibration or high-impact conditions
during operation.

the panel peeling from the bezel,
ensure that the monitor does not tilt
