PowerSensor	is	a	unique	environmentally	friendly	technology	from	Philips	which	enables	user	to	save	
up	to	80%	of	power	consumption.	In	line	with	Philip’s	Sense	and	Simplicity	Promise,	this	user	friendly	
technology	works	for	you	right	out	of	the	box	without	any	hardware	or	software	installation,	and	
without	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 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	down	to	80%.

Setting
Default settings
At	its	default	setting,	(Setting	3),	PowerSensor	is	designed	to	detect	the	presence	of	the	user	located	
between	90	and	110	cm	(35.4	and	43.3	inches)	from	the	display	and	within	five	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	efficiency:	The	higher	the	setting,	the	stronger	the	detection	signal.	For	
maximum	PowerSensor	efficiency	and	proper	detection,	please	position	yourself	directly	in	front	of	
your	monitor.
• If you choose to position yourself more than 110 cm or 43.3 inches from the monitor use the
maximum detection signal for distances up to 130 cm or 51.2 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.
