SAFETY AND TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION

Safety precautions and maintenance

PHILIPS BDL4230ET - SAFETY AND TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION - 1

WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your display:

Operation:

  • Keep the display out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat sources.
  • Remove any object that could fall into ventilation holes or prevent proper cooling of the display's electronics.
  • Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.
  • When positioning the display, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.
  • When turning off the display by detaching the power cord, wait 6 seconds before re-attaching the power cord for normal operation.
  • Ensure the use of an approved power cord provided by Philips at all times. If your power cord is missing, please contact your local service center.
  • Do not subject the display to severe vibration or high impact conditions during operation.
  • Do not knock or drop the display during operation or transportation.

Maintenance:

  • To protect your display from possible damage, do not put excessive pressure on the LCD panel. When moving your display, grasp the frame to lift; do not lift by placing your hand or fingers on the LCD panel.
  • 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 may be wiped with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use organic solvent, such as, alcohol, or ammonia-based liquids to clean your display.
  • To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the display to dust, rain, water or an excessively moist environment.
  • If your display becomes wet, wipe it with dry cloth as soon as possible.
  • If a foreign substance or water gets in your display, turn the power off immediately and disconnect the power cord. Then remove the foreign substance or water, and send the unit to the maintenance center.
  • Do not store or use the display in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight or extreme cold.
  • In order to maintain the best performance of your display and ensure a longer lifetime, we strongly recommend using the unit in a location that falls within the following temperature and humidity ranges.
  • Temperature: 0 \~ 40°C 32-104°F
  • Humidity: 20-80% RH

IMPORTANT: Always activate a moving screen saver program when you leave your display unattended. Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if the unit 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. This 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 has been switched off.

WARNING: Severe "burn-in" or "after-image" or "ghost image" symptoms will not disappear and cannot be repaired. This is also not covered under the terms of your warranty.

Service:

  • The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.
  • If there is any need for repair or integration, please contact your local service center.
  • Do not leave your display under direct sunlight.

PHILIPS BDL4230ET - Service: - 1

If your display does not operate normally, having followed the instructions set out in this document, please contact a technician or your local service center.

  • 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 may 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 after having followed the instructions in this manual.
  • The casing cover should be opened only by qualified 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.
  • When turning off the display by detaching the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds before re-attaching the power cable or DC power cord 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 the 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 symptoms cannot be repaired and are not covered under warranty.

INFORMATION FOR UK ONLY

PHILIPS BDL4230ET - INFORMATION FOR UK ONLY - 1

text_image (A) (B)

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:

I. 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. Refit the fuse cover.

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

PHILIPS BDL4230ET - Important: - 1

natural_image Diagram of a battery pack with colored wires and connectors (no text or symbols)

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N")

BROWN - "LIVE" ("L")

GREEN & YELLOW - "EARTH" ("E")

  1. The GREEN AND 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 AND 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.

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.

7. 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 LCD display 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 defines the acceptable defect level for the BDL4230ET 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 specification 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.

7.1. 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.

PHILIPS BDL4230ET - PIXELS AND SUB-PIXELS - 1

text_image subpixel subpixel R G B pixel

7.2. 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 definition = What is a defective "Dot"? :

One or more defective, adjacent sub-pixel is defined as one "dot". The number of defective sub-pixels is not relevant to define 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.

PHILIPS BDL4230ET - Dot definition = What is a defective "Dot"? : - 1

text_image R G B

One dot = One Pixel; consists of three sub-pixels of Red; Green and Blue

7.3. 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:

PHILIPS BDL4230ET - BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS - 1PHILIPS BDL4230ET - BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS - 2PHILIPS BDL4230ET - BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS - 3
One lit red, green or blue sub-pixelTwo adjacent lit sub-pixels:- Red + Blue = Purple- Red + Green = Yellow- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)Three adjacent lit sub-pixels (one white dot)

7.4. 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:

PHILIPS BDL4230ET - DARK DOT DEFECTS - 1PHILIPS BDL4230ET - DARK DOT DEFECTS - 2PHILIPS BDL4230ET - DARK DOT DEFECTS - 3
One dark dotTwo adjacent dark dots = 1 pair of dark dotsTwo dark dots, specifications define the minimum distance between dark dots

7.5. 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 specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects. In the table below you can find specifications 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

7.6. PIXEL DEFECT TOLERANCES

In order to qualify for repair due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a PDP/TFT panel in a Philips LCD display must have pixel or sub-pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following table.

BRIGHT DOT EFFECT ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL BDL4230ET
I lit sub pixel I
BLACK DOT EFFECT ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
I dark sub pixel 8
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS OF ALL TYPES 9

Note: * 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect

8. CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

8.1. CLEANING

Caution When Using the Display

  • Do not place 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 the air being expelled 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 fire 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 fingers or hard objects of any kind.
  • Do not use volatile substances such as sprays, solvents and thinners.

Cabinet Cleaning Instructions

  • If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe 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, or electrical and shock hazards may result.
  • Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with fingers or hard objects of any kind.
  • Do not use volatile substances such as 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.
