2 Safety and maintenance guidelines
Important safety information
A power cord is included with the 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 the monitor, refer to
the Product Notices provided on your media disc, if one is included, or in your documentation kit.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
• If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on the power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin
outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin, for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter. The
grounding pin is an important safety feature.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may
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 http://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 properly support your HP LCD monitor.
WARNING! LCD monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests, or carts may 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.
NOTE: This product is suitable for entertainment purposes. Consider placing the display in a controlled
luminous environment to avoid interference from surrounding light and bright surfaces that may cause
disturbing reflections from the screen.
Important safety information 3
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/back
plate of the monitor.
●
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 the monitor near an 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.
NOTE: 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 stand, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent it from
getting scratched, defaced, or broken.
Cleaning 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 with a soft, clean antistatic cloth.
3. For more difficult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol.
CAUTION: Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surface. Never
spray the cleaner directly on the screen surface. It may run behind the bezel and damage the electronics.
CAUTION: 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 may damage the monitor.
Shipping the monitor
Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You may need it later if you move or ship the monitor.
4 Chapter 2 Safety and maintenance guidelines
3 Setting up the monitor
To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor, computer system, and other
attached devices, then follow the instructions below.
NOTE: Be sure the master power switch, located on the rear panel of the monitor, is in the off position. The
master power switch turns off all power to the monitor.
Use caution when setting up the monitor
To prevent damage to the monitor, do not touch the surface of the LCD panel. Pressure on the panel may
cause non-uniformity of color or disorientation of the liquid crystals. If this occurs the screen will not recover
to its normal condition.
If installing a stand, lay the monitor face down on a flat surface covered with a protective sheet foam or nonabrasive cloth. This prevents the screen from getting scratched, defaced or broken as well as damage to the
front panel buttons.
NOTE: Your monitor may look different from the monitor in this illustration.
Use caution when setting up the monitor 5
Installing the stand
CAUTION: Do not touch the surface of the LCD panel. Pressure on the panel may cause non-uniformity of
color or disorientation of the liquid crystals. If this occurs the screen will not recover to its normal condition.
TIP: Consider the placement of the display, because the bezel might cause interfering reflections from
surrounding light and bright surfaces.
The display uses the HP Quick Release 2 for easy mounting of the monitor. To mount the panel onto the
stand:
1. Lay the monitor panel face down on a flat surface covered by a clean, dry cloth.
2. Slide the top of the mounting plate (1) on the stand under the upper lip of the recess in the back of the
panel.
3. Lower the bottom of the stand's mounting plate (2) into the recess until it snaps into place.
4. The HP Quick Release 2 latch (3) pops up when the stand is locked in place.
