4. PowerSensor™
(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	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%.
User present in frontUser not present
Power	consumption	as	illustrated	above	is	for	reference	purpose	only
 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.

 How to adjust settings
If	PowerSensor	is	not	operating	corr ectly	insi de	or	outs ide	the	defa ult	rang e,	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.
