Important safety information

An AC adapter and AC power cord may be included with the monitor. If another cord is used, use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor. For information about the correct AC 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 the power cord has a 3-pin attachment plug, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin, it is an important safety feature.

When unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.

For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the monitor so that they cannot be stepped on, pulled, grabbed, or tripped over.

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide provided with your user guides. It describes proper workstation setup and proper posture, health, and work habits for computer users. The Safety & Comfort Guide also provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. The Safety & Comfort Guide is also available on the Web at http://www.hp.com/ergo.

IMPORTANT: For the protection of the monitor and the computer, connect all power cords for the computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to a surge protection device such as a power strip or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strip must be specifically labeled as having this capability. 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 monitor.

WARNING! Monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause personal injury.
