(Available for model 247E3LPH only)
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.
