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 "Connecting the Power Cable" section in
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
• 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 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.
Setting Up the Monitor on page 7.
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
ergo and/or on the documentation CD, if one is included with the monitor.
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 can not be pulled, grabbed, or tripped over.

Important Safety Information 3

Safety Precautions

Use only a power source and connection compatible with 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 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.
Install your 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/
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 (AMP 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.
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

1. Turn off the monitor and the computer.
2. Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet.
3. Clean the monitor plastics with a clean cloth dampened with water.
4. Clean the monitor screen with an antistatic screen cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean the
monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.

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. Determine whether the monitor will be desktop mounted or wall-mounted. See "Installing the
Monitor" in this chapter.
4. 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.
5. You need a Phillips screwdriver for preparing the monitor for wall-mounting. You may need a
straight-slot screwdriver to secure some cables.

Installing the Monitor

You can install the monitor on a desktop or wall-mount it. Place the monitor in a convenient, well­ventilated location near your computer. Connect the monitor cables after you have installed the monitor.
NOTE: For displays with glossy bezels the user should consider the placement of the display as the
bezel may cause disturbing reflections from surrounding light and bright surfaces.
Unpacking the Monitor 7
Preparing the monitor for desktop use
1. Set the monitor screen face down on a flat, soft, protected table or desk surface with the support
column overhanging the edge.
CAUTION: The screen is fragile. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing
so can cause damage.
