2 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

Important Safety Information

A power cord is included with the monitor. If another cord is used, be sure that the power source and connection are appropriate for this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with the monitor, see

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

Do not disable the power-cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet.

• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

• Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.

For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one might accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety and Comfort Guide. It describes proper workstation, setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users, and provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is located on the Web at or on the documentation CD (if one is included with the monitor) or both.

Power Cord Set Requirements on page 33.

www.hp.com/ergo

CAUTION: For the protection of the monitor, as well as the computer, connect all power cords for the

computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to some form of surge protection device such as a power strip or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can replace the equipment, if surge protection fails.

Use the appropriate and correctly sized furniture designed to support your HP LCD monitor.

WARNING! LCD monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,

speakers, chests, or carts might fall over and cause personal injury.

Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the LCD monitor so that they cannot be pulled, grabbed, or tripped over.

Safety Precautions

Use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor, as indicated on the label of

●

the power adapter.

Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the

●

current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the power cord does not exceed the rating of the power cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (Amps or A) for each device.

Important Safety Information

Install the monitor near a power outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by

●

grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.

●

Maintenance Guidelines

To enhance the performance and extend the life of the monitor:

Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those

●

controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact an authorized HP dealer, reseller, or service provider.

Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the label of

●

the power adapter.

Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the

●

current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the cord does not exceed the rating of the power cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (AMP or A) for each device.

Install the monitor near a power outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by

●

grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.

Turn the monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of the

●

monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.

CAUTION: Monitors with a "burned-in image" are not covered under the HP warranty.

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be

●

blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.

Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.

●

Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.

●

Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture.

●

When removing the monitor base, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent it

●

from getting scratched, defaced, or broken.

4 Chapter 2 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

Cleaning the Monitor

CAUTION: Spray the cleaner on a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surface.

Never spray the cleaner directly on the screen surface. It might run behind the bezel and damage the electronics.

Do not use cleaners that contain any petroleum based materials such as benzene, thinner, or any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals might damage the monitor.

1. Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the back of the unit.

2. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet using a soft, clean antistatic cloth.

3. For more difficult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol.

Shipping the Monitor

Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You might need it later if you move or ship the monitor.

To prepare the monitor for shipping:

1. Disconnect the power and video cables from the monitor.

2. Press the button on the front of the pedestal (1) and lift the monitor panel from the base (2).

Figure 2-1 Removing the Monitor Panel

3. Set the panel on a soft, protected surface.

4. Carefully pull the pedestal away from the base to release and separate them.

NOTE: 2511x and 2711x models only: Remove one screw from the bottom of the base to

release the pedestal from the base.

5. Place the monitor, pedestal, and base in the original packing box.

Maintenance Guidelines

3 Setting Up the Monitor

Unpacking the Monitor

1. Unpack the monitor. Make sure all contents are included. Store the packing box.

2. Turn off the computer and other attached devices.

3. Prepare a flat area to assemble the monitor. You may need a flat, soft, protected area for placing

the monitor screen-down while preparing it for installation.

Assembling the Monitor

Place the monitor in a convenient, well-ventilated location near your computer. Connect the monitor cables after you have assembled the monitor.

CAUTION: The screen is fragile. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing so

can cause damage.

TIP: For monitor displays with glossy bezels, consider the placement of the display, because the

bezel might cause interfering reflections from surrounding light and bright surfaces.

1. Set the monitor panel down on a flat, soft, protected table or desk surface.

2. Slide the pedestal into the slot on the base (1) until the pedestal clicks into the base.

NOTE: The bottom side of the monitor base might look different on your model.

2511x and 2711x models only: Install one screw (2) in the base to secure the pedestal to

the base.

Connecting Monitor Cables

CAUTION: Before connecting cables to the monitor, ensure that the computer and monitor are

powered off.

NOTE: When using a DVI, VGA, or HDMI signal, you must connect your audio output to external

speakers.

The video source is determined by the video cable used. The monitor will automatically determine which inputs have valid video signals. The inputs can be selected by pressing the source button on the front panel.
