1. Getting Started
Important safety information
An AC power cord is included with the monitor . If anothe r 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 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 att aching
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.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & 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.
Be sure that the total ampere ratin g o f th e p roduc ts connected to the AC outlet does not exceed
the current rating of the outlet, and that 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 AC outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by
grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the AC outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling
the cord.
Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
NOTE: This product is suitable for entertainment purposes. Consider placing the monitor in a
controlled luminous environment to avoid interference from surrounding light and bright surfaces
that may cause disturbing reflections from the screen.

setting (On or Off; defa ult setting is On), the current preset screen resolution, and the
recommended preset screen resolution.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the
screen.
CAUTION: Burn-in image damage may occu r on m onitor s that d isp lay the sa me static image on
the screen for 12 or more consecutive hours of nonuse. To avoid burn-in image damage on the
monitor screen, you should always activate a screen saver application or turn of f the monitor

4. Maintaining the monitor
Maintenance guidelines
• Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this pro duct yourself. Adjust only those
controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If the monitor is not opera ting 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.
• Turn the monitor off when no t 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.
• 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 facedown on a soft area to
prevent it from getting scratched, defaced, or broken.
Cleaning the monitor
1. Turn off the monitor and disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord
from the AC outlet.
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 benze ne,
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.

Entering user modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset if:
You are not using a standard graphics adapter.
You are not using a preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen by using the on-
screen display. Your changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory.
The monitor automatically stores the new setting, and then recognizes the new mode just as it
does a preset mode. In addition to the factory preset modes, there are at least 10 user mode s
that can be entered and stored.
18 A Technical specifications
Energy saver feature
The monitors support a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be entered into if the
monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal. Upon
detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off,
and the power light is turned orange. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the
monitor will utilize 0.5 watts of power. There is a brief warm-up period before the monitor will
return to its normal operating mode.
Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes
called power management features).
NOTE: The above power saver feature only works when th e monito r is connecte d to a compu ter
that has energy saver features.
By selecting the settings in the monitor's Energy Saver utility, you can also program the monitor
to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor 's Energy Saver
utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
