Safety Instructions
Warnings and Precautions
KNOW THESE SAFETY SYMBOLS
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
This symbol indicates high voltage is present inside. It is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any inside part of this product.
This symbol alerts you that important literature concerning operation and maintenance has been included with this product.
Note to CATV system installers: This reminder is provided to call CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code
(Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part I), that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, species that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
CAUTION: FCC/CSA regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modications to this equipment may void the user’s authority to operate it.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of plug to the wide slot, and fully insert the plug.
IMPORTANT: One Federal Court has held that unauthorized recording of copyrighted TV programs is an infringement of U.S. copyright laws. Certain
Canadian programs may also be copyrighted and any unauthorized recording in whole or in part may be in violation of these rights.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE WHICH MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
The Socket-outlet should be installed near the apparatus and be easily accessible.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your Public Information Display:
• Unplug the display if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.
• Unplug the display if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen many be wiped with a dry cloth when the power is
off. However, never use alcohol, solvents or ammonia-based liquids.
• Consult a service technician if the display does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions in this manual.
• The casing cover should be opened only by qualied service personnel.
• Keep the display out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat sources.
• Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the display’s electronics.
• Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
• Keep the display dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.
• If turning off the display by detaching the power cable, wait for 6 seconds before re-attaching the power cable for normal operation.
• To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set do not expose the display to rain or excessive moisture.
• When positioning the display, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
• IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in high contrast remains on the
screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an ‘after-image’ or ‘ghost image’ on the front of the screen. This is a well-known
phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases the afterimage will disappear gradually
over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware that the after-image symptom cannot be repaired and is not
covered under warranty.

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. Ret 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.
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 marked with the letter “L” or
coloured RED.

6. Pixel Defect Policy
We strive to deliver the highest quality products and use some of the industry’s most advanced manufacturing processes whilst practicing stringent quality
control. However, pixel or sub-pixel defects on the PDP / TFT panels used in Plasma- & LCD- displays are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can
guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any Plasma- & LCD- displays with an unacceptable number of defects
will be repaired during the warranty period in line with your local guarantee conditions.
This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and denes the acceptable defect level for the LCD screen. In order to qualify for repair under
warranty, the number of pixel defects must exceed a certain level as shown in the reference table. If the LCD screen is within specication a warranty
exchange / claim back will be refused. Additionally, because some types or combinations of pixel defects are more noticeable than others, Philips sets even
higher quality standards for those.
6.1. Pixels and Sub-Pixels
subpixel
pixel
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.
6.2. Types of Pixel Defects + Dot Definition
Pixel and sub-pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are three categories of pixel defects and several types of sub-pixel defects within
each category.
Dot denition = What is a defective “Dot”? :
One or more defective, adjacent sub-pixel are dened as one “dot”. The no. of defective sub-pixels are not relevant to dene a defective dot. This means
that a defective dot can consist of one, two or three defective sub-pixels which can be dark or lit.
RR G B
One dot = One Pixel; consists of three sub-pixels of Red, Green, and Blue.
6.3. Bright Dot Defects
Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always lit or “on”. These are the examples 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)
BDL5551EL
26
6.4. Dark Dot Defects
Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always dark or “off”. These are the examples of black dot defects:
One dark dot Two adjacent dark dots = 1 pair of dark dots Two dark dots, specications denes the
minimum distance between dark dots
6.5. Proximity of Pixel Defects
Because pixel and sub-pixels defects of the same type that are nearby one another may be more noticeable, Philips also species tolerances for the
proximity of pixel defects. In the table below you can nd specications about:
• Allowed amount of adjacent dark dots = (adjacent dark dots =1 pair of dark dots)
• Minimum distance between dark dots
• Total no. of all defective dots
6.6. Pixel Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a PDP / TFT panel in a Philips Plasma / LCD- display must have pixel or sub-
pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following table.
BRIGHT DOT EFFECT ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 lit sub pixel 2
BLACK DOT EFFECT ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark sub pixel 10
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS OF ALL TYPES 12
NOTE: * 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
6.7. MURA
Dark spots or patches may occasionally appear on some liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. This is known within the industry as Mura, which is a Japanese
term for “unevenness.” It is used to describe an irregular pattern or area in which uneven screen uniformity appears under certain conditions. Mura is a
result of the deterioration of the liquid crystal alignment layer and is most commonly caused by long-term operation under high ambient temperatures. It
is an industry- wide phenomenon and Mura is not repairable. It is also not covered by our warranty terms.
Mura has been around since the introduction of LCD technology and with screens getting bigger and in operation 24/7, many displays are running in low
light conditions. This all adds to the possibility of Mura affecting displays.
HOW TO SPOT MURA
There are many symptoms of Mura and also multiple causes. Several of these are listed below:
• Impurities or foreign particles in the crystal matrix
• Uneven distribution of LCD matrix during manufacturing
• Non-uniform luminance distribution of the backlight
• Panel assembly induced stress
• Flaws within the LCD cells
• Thermal induced stress - high temperature operation over long periods of time
HOW TO AVOID MURA
Although we can not guarantee the complete eradication of Mura every time, in general the appearance of Mura can be minimized by these methods:
• Lower the backlight brightness
• Use a screen saver
• Reduce the ambient temperature around the unit

7. Cleaning and Troubleshooting
7.1. Cleaning
Caution When Using the Display
• Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation holes of the display. The top of the display is usually very hot due to the high
temperature of exhaust air being released through the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries may occur if any body parts are brought too
close. Placing any object near the top of the display could also result in heat related damage to the object as well as the display itself.
• Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the display. Moving the display with its cables attached may damage the cables and thus cause re
or electric shock.
• Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any type of cleaning or maintenance procedure.
Front Panel Cleaning Instructions
• The front of the display has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
• If the surface becomes dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Wipe the surface of
the display to remove dirt. Then use a dry cloth of the same type to dry.
• Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with ngers or hard objects of any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners.
Cabinet Cleaning Instructions
• If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak a lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth to remove as much moisture as possible. Wipe
the cabinet. Use another dry cloth to wipe over until the surface is dry.
• Do not allow any water or detergent to come into contact with the surface of the display. If water or moisture gets inside the unit, operating
problems, electrical and shock hazards may result.
• Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with ngers or hard objects of any kind.
• Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and thinners on the cabinet.
• Do not place anything made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any extended periods of time.
