2.4  MHL (Mobile High-Definition 
Link) introduction
  What is it?
Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) is a mobile 
audio/video interface for directly connecting 
mobile phones and other portable devices to 
high-definition displays.
An optional MHL cable allows you to simply 
connect your MHL capable mobile device to 
this large Philips MHL display, and watch your 
HD videos come to life with full digital sound. 
Now not only you can enjoy your mobile 
games, photos, movies, or other apps on its 
big screen, you can simultaneously charge your 
mobile device so you never run out of power 
half way. 
  How do I use the MHL function?
To use the MHL function, you need an MHL-
Certified mobile device. To find a list of MHL-
certified devices, visit the official MHL website 
(http://www.mhlconsortium.org)  
You also need a optional MHL certified special 
cable in order to use this function.
  How does it work? (how do I connect?)
Connect the Optional MHL cable to the mini 
USB port on the mobile device side, and the 
[MHL-HDMI] marked port on the monitor side. 
You are now ready to view the images on your 
big screen display and operate all function on 
you the mobile device such as internet surfing, 
game playing, photo browsing…etc. if your 
monitor has speaker function, then you will be 
able to hear accompanying sound too. When 
the MHL cable is disconnected or the mobile 
device is turned off, the MHL function will be 
automatically disabled. 
 
Note
 
‡ The port marked [MHL-HDMI] is the 
only port on the monitor that supports 
the MHL function when the MHL cable is 
used. Note that the MHL certified cable is 
different than a standard HDMI cable.
‡ A mobile device with MHL certification 
must be purchased separately
‡ You may have to manually switch the 
monitor to MHL-HDMI mode in order 
to activate the monitor, if you have other 
devices already working and connected to 
available inputs
‡ Standby/Off energy saving of ErP is not ap-
plicable for the MHL charging functionality
‡ This Philips display is MHL certified. 
However, in case your MHL device does 
not connect or work correctly, check with 
your MHL device FAQ or vendor directly 
for direction. The policy of your device 
manufacturer may require you to purchase 
their brand specific MHL cable or adapter 
in order to work.
