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 AC outlet does not exceed the current
rating of the AC 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
rmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.
●Turn the monitor o when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of the monitor
by using a screen saver program and turning o the monitor when not in use.
NOTE: A burned-in image on the monitor is 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 position the monitor facedown on a soft area to prevent it
from getting scratched, defaced, or broken.
Cleaning the monitor
1.Turn o the monitor and unplug 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 diicult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol.
IMPORTANT: 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Preset display resolutions
The display resolutions listed below are the most commonly used modes and are set as factory defaults. The
monitor automatically recognizes these preset modes and they will appear properly sized and centered on the
screen.
Under the following conditions, the video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset:
●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
menu. 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 modes that can be entered and stored.
Energy saver feature
The monitor supports a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be initiated 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 o, and the power light turns amber.
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.
See the computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called power
management features).
NOTE: The energy saver feature only works when the monitor is connected to a computer that has energy
saver features.
By selecting the settings in the monitor's Energy Saver utility, you can also program the monitor to initiate the
reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's Energy Saver utility causes the monitor to
initiate the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.

Accessibility
HP is working to weave diversity, inclusion and work/life into the fabric of our company, so it is reected in
everything we do. Here are some examples of how we are putting dierences to work to create an inclusive
environment focused on connecting people to the power of technology throughout the world.
Finding the technology tools you need
Technology can unleash your human potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you create
independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology helps increase, maintain, and
improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology. For more information, see
Finding the best assistive technology on page 29.
Our commitment
HP is committed to providing products and services that are accessible for people with disabilities. This
commitment supports our company's diversity objectives and helps us ensure that the benets of technology
are available to all.
Our accessibility goal is to design, produce, and market products and services that can be eectively used by
everyone, including people with disabilities, either on a stand-alone basis or with appropriate assistive
devices.
To achieve our goal, this Accessibility Policy establishes seven key objectives to guide our actions as a
company. All HP managers and employees are expected to support these objectives and their implementation
in accordance with their roles and responsibilities:
●Raise the level of awareness of accessibility issues within our company, and provide our employees with
the training they need to design, produce, market, and deliver accessible products and services.
●Develop accessibility guidelines for products and services, and hold product development groups
accountable for implementing these guidelines where competitively, technically, and economically
feasible.

the online community, sign up for newsletters, and learn about membership options.
Finding the best assistive technology
Everyone, including people with disabilities or age-related limitations, should be able to communicate,
express themselves, and connect with the world using technology. HP is committed to increasing accessibility
awareness within HP and with our customers and partners. Whether it’s large fonts that are easy on the eyes,
voice recognition that lets you give your hands a rest, or any other assistive technology to help with your
specic situation—a variety of assistive technologies make HP products easier to use. How do you choose?
Assessing your needs
Technology can unleash your potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you create
independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology (AT) helps increase, maintain,
and improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology.
You may choose from many AT products. Your AT assessment should allow you to evaluate several products,
answer your questions, and facilitate your selection of the best solution for your situation. You will nd that
professionals qualied to do AT assessments come from many elds, including those licensed or certied in
physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language pathology, and other areas of expertise. Others,
while not certied or licensed, may also provide evaluation information. You will want to ask about the
individual's experience, expertise, and fees to determine if they are appropriate for your needs.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) helps web
designers and developers create sites that better meet the needs of people with disabilities or age-related
limitations. WCAG advances accessibility across the full range of web content (text, images, audio, and video)
and web applications. WCAG can be precisely tested, is easy to understand and use, and allows web
developers exibility for innovation. WCAG 2.0 has also been approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2012.
WCAG specically addresses barriers to accessing the web experienced by people with visual, auditory,
physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities, and by older web users with accessibility needs. WCAG 2.0
provides characteristics of accessible content:
●Perceivable (for instance, by addressing text alternatives for images, captions for audio, adaptability of
presentation, and color contrast)
●Operable (by addressing keyboard access, color contrast, timing of input, seizure avoidance, and
navigability)
●Understandable (by addressing readability, predictability, and input assistance)
●Robust (for instance, by addressing compatibility with assistive technologies)
