21Custom settingsIf you prefer to be in a position outside theperimeters listed above, choose a higher strengthsignal for optimal detection efficiency: The higherthe setting, the stronger the detection signal. Formaximum PowerSensor efficiency and properdetection, please position yourself directly in frontof your monitor.If you choose to position yourself more than•100 cm or 40 inches from the monitor usethe maximum detection signal for distances upto 120cm or 47 inches. (setting 4)Since some dark colored clothing tends to•absorb infrared signals even when the useris within 100 cm or 40 inches of the display,step up signal strength when wearing black orother dark garb.You can return to the default mode at any•time (setting 3)How to adjust settingsIf PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside oroutside the default range, here’s how to fine-tunedetection:Press the PowerSensor hot key•You will find the default position ‘3’ on the•adjustment bar.Adjust the PowerSensor detection adjustment•to Setting 4 and press OK.Test the new setup to see if PowerSensor•properly detects you in your current position.NoteA manually selected PowerSensor mode willremain operational unless and until it is readjustedor the default mode is recalled. If you find thatthe PowerSensor is excessively sensitive to nearbymotion for some reason, please adjust to a lowersignal strength.3.6 PowerSensorPowerSensor is a unique environmentally friendlytechnology from Philips which enables user to saveupto 70% of power consumption. In line withPhilip’s Sense and Simplicity drive, this user friendlytechnology works for you right out of the boxwithout any hardware or software installation, andwithout any user intervention in the default mode.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 thepredetermined settings that the user has set-i.e. Brightness, contrast, color, etcAssuming that the monitor was set to 100%•of brightness for example, when the userleaves his seat and is no longer in front of themonitor, the monitor automatically reducesthe power consumption up to 70%.Power consumption as illustrated above is for reference purpose onlySettingsDefault settingsAt its default setting, (Setting 3), PowerSensoris designed to detect the presence of the userlocated between 30 and 100 cm (12 and 40inches) from the display and within five degreesleft or right of the monitor.38 Watt 45W10 WattPowerSensor detection adjustment0 43 (default)12341 00234User present in frontHot keyUser not presentSensor distance
