Safety Guidelines

Power Requirements

A power cord is included with your monitor. If another cord is used, use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with your monitor, refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section in Appendix C.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded (earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to the equipment as possible. When you need to disconnect the power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords for your 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 your equipment if surge protection fails.

Maintenance Guidelines

To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor, follow these guidelines:

Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. If your monitor is not operating properly,or has been dropped or damaged, first unplug from power oulet, then contact your Hewlett Packard authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

Adjust only those controls that are discussed in the operating instructions.

Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from walls or other enclosures.

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

Be sure 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 cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for each device.

Install your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the montor by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.

Turn off your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life of your monitor by using a screen saver program and turing off the monitor when not in use.

Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic CRT screen cleaner.

CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean your monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.

Slots and opening 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 place plants on top of your monitor. Water or dirt from the plant may get into the vents.

Do not drop your monior or place it on an unstable surface.

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

Keep your monitor in a well ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture. Keep your monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electical motors, and other devices with strong magnetic fields.

In a two-monior system, place your monitors as far apart from one another as possible to lessen interference between them.
