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.
Power Cord Set Requirements on page 39.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the
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.
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.

ENWW Important Safety Information 3
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.
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.
5. Place the monitor, pedestal, and base in the original packing box.
ENWW Maintenance Guidelines 5
3 Setting Up the Monitor
Unpacking the Monitor
1. Unpack the monitor and 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 until the pedestal clicks into the base.
NOTE: The bottom side of the monitor base might look different on your model.
Figure 3-1 Assembling the Base and Pedestal
6 Chapter 3 Setting Up the Monitor ENWW
3. Slide the hinge bracket on the monitor into the opening on top of the pedestal. The panel will
click into place when fully inserted.
Figure 3-2 Inserting the Monitor Panel
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.
Connecting the HDMI Cable
Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the back of the monitor and the other end connector to the
input device. The HDMI cable is included with the monitor.
NOTE: The audio stream must be connected directly to external speakers or to an audio receiver.
