4. P o w e rSensor
4. PowerSensor™
(Available for model 227E3LPH 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 inter vention 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.
 You can return to the default mode at any time (Setting 3).

Power Sensor            3
  How to adjust settings
If PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside or outside the default range, here’s how to f ine-tune 
detection: 
 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.
 Note
A manually selected PowerSensor mode will remain operational unless and until it is readjusted or the 
default mode is recalled.  If you find that the PowerSensor is excessively sensitive to nearby motion for 
some reason, please adjust to a lower signal strength.
