This highlighting is done by boosting the brightness and sharpness on a selected region of the monitor screen. Since high brightness and sharpness are not preferred for most standard Windows applications, this special feature will only be active in certain circumstances. So that you can control these circumstances, a special program and icons will be installed in your Windows operating systems. file:///C|/rita wu/gs3LF/ENGLISH/107T/product/product.htm (1 of 8) [10/12/2000 1:50:19 AM] 107T Product Information Notes Philips LightFrameTM will only work with monitors that have been built to use this software. Earlier Philips monitors or other manufacturers' monitors will not work with this special software. It is recommended that you install this software only on a Philips monitor designed to use it. These monitors can be identified by the LightFrameTM logo on the front of the monitor. This software is not designed for use with LCD flat screen monitors. LightFrameTM will work with true Windows-based programs and DOS-based programs that operate in a Window 's environment. It will not work with DOS-based programs operating only in a DOS environment. Definitions The following list contains definitions for frequently used words. Highlighted window: The selected window on which LightFrameTM is active. Highlighted area: The selected rectangle (area) on which LightFrameTM is active. Compatibility This version of LightFrameTM is compatible with Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows NT Windows 2000 Professional Edition.

At system start up, LightFrameTM checks the selected resolution of the monitor and if the monitor is LightFrameTM capable. Icon and Colors An icon of a monitor represents LightFrameTM on your desktop. This icon appears as a shortcut on the Windows desktop. LightFrameTM has three (3) modes of operation: Active, Inactive, and Suspended. The same icon with a different color in its center represents each mode. Active = LightFrameTM icon has bright green center. Inactive = The icon has a gray center. Suspended = The icon has a yellow center with a red cross. Notes An active window must be 100% visible, i.e. it must be on top of all other windows or areas. If any part of another window or area overlaps a highlighted window, LightFrameTM automatically suspends operation. That means the icon goes from a green center to a yellow on with a red cross and the feature ceases. Once that window or area is removed and the original highlighted window is on top again, LightFrameTM automatically re-engages and the icon regains its bright green center. An active window must also be 100% on the monitor 's viewing area. If part of a highlighted window moves off the monitor 's viewing area, LightFrameTM automatically goes into the Suspended mode. If part of a window is off the viewing area, you will not be able to use LightFrameTM on that window. Only one window or area at a time can be highlighted. How To Activate LightFrameTM 1. Click on the LightFrameTM icon in the systemtray (the area to the far right in the taskbar). . The icon will turn from gray to a green center. 2. Guide the mouse to the window you want displayed. As you move the mouse, the cursor changes to a small arrow with a light bulb. 3. 3a) Click on the window you want to have highlighted. The brightness and sharpness are automatically adjusted. 3b) If you want to highlight only an area of a window, click on the left mouse button and drag the cursor over the area to be highlighted while holding the mouse button. A rectangle forms around the area. When the area is encompassed by the rectangle, release the mouse button and the area becomes highlighted. How to Deactivate LightFrameTM To deactivate, click on the LightFrameTM icon in the System Tray of the Taskbar. The light in the middle of the icon turns gray and LightFrameTM is deactivated.
