4. PowerSensor™
4. PowerSensor™
How does it work?
• PowerSensor works on principle of
transmission and reception of harmless
“infrared” signals in order to detect user-
presence.
• When the user is in front of the monitor,
the monitor operates normally, at the
predetermined settings that the user has
set- i.e. brightness, contrast, color, etc
• Assuming that the monitor was set to
100% of brightness for example, when the
user leaves his seat and is no longer in front
of the monitor, the monitor automatically
reduces the power consumption upto 80%.
User present in front User not present
ttaW
Power consumption as illustrated above is for reference purpose only
Setting
Default settings
PowerSensor is designed to detect the presence
of the user located between 30 and 100 cm (12
and 40 inches) from the display and within ve
degrees left or right of the monitor.
Custom settings
If you prefer to be in a position outside the
perimeters listed above, choose a higher
strength signal for optimal detection efciency:
The higher the setting, the stronger the
detection signal. For maximum PowerSensor
efciency and proper detection, please position
yourself directly in front of your monitor.
• If you choose to position yourself more
than 100 cm or 40 inches from the
monitor use the maximum detection signal
for distances up to 120 cm or 47 inches.
(Setting 4)
• Since some dark colored clothing tends to
absorb infrared signals even when the user
is within 100 cm or 40 inches of the display,
step up signal strength when wearing black
or other dark clothes.

How to adjust settings
If PowerSensor is not operating correctly
inside or outside the default range, here’s how
to fine-tune detection:
• Press the PowerSensor hot key.
• You will find the adjustment bar.
• Adjust the PowerSensor detection

automatically turn Off if the monitor
is used in Portrait mode (90 degree/
vertical position); it will automatically turn
ON if monitor is returned to its default
Landscape position.
Note
A manually selected PowerSensor mode
will remain operational unless and until it is
readjusted or the default mode is recalled. If
you nd that the PowerSensor is excessively
sensitive to nearby motion for some reason,
please adjust to a lower signal strength.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
Important:
This apparatus is supplied with an approved
moulded 13A plug. To change a fuse in this type
of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS 1362
5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Retit the fuse cover.
If the tted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
3-pin plug tted 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.
(A)
(B)
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.

10.1 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 at 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 denes
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.
subpixel
pixel
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).
41
10. Customer care and warranty
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 species 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 at panel
monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects
exceeding the tolerances listed in the following
tables.
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 lit subpixel 3
2 adjacent lit subpixels 1
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel) 0
Distance between two bright dot defects* >15mm
Total bright dot defects of all types 3
BLACK DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark subpixel 5 or fewer
2 adjacent dark subpixels 2 or fewer
3 adjacent dark subpixels 0
Distance between two black dot defects* >15mm
Total black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
Total bright or black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
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)
3. ISO9241-307 is the successor of formerly known ISO13406 standard, which is withdrawn by the
International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) per: 2008-11-13.
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.
