Safety and Maintenance

Safety Guidelines

Power Requirements

Refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section in “Agency Regulatory Notices,” for information on the correct power cord set for this device.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your

equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded (earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

Guidelines

WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug

the power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to the equipment as possible. When you need to disconnect the power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.

Reference Guide www.hp.com 2–1

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your

computer, connect all power cords for your 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 your equipment if surge protection fails.

Maintenance Guidelines

To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor, follow these guidelines:

■ Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this

product yourself. If your monitor is not operating properly, or has been dropped or damaged, first unplug from power outlet, then contact your Hewlett-Packard authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

■ Adjust only those controls that are discussed in the operating

instructions.

■ Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from

walls or other enclosures.

■ 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 (AMPS or A) for each device.

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

■ Install your 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 your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially

increase the life of your monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.

■ Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic CRT screen cleaner.

CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other

volatile substances to clean your monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.

■ 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 place plants on top of your monitor. Water or dirt from

the plant may get into the vents.

■ Do not drop your 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 your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from

excessive light, heat or moisture. Keep your monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and other devices with strong magnetic fields.

■ In a two-monitor system, place your monitors as far apart

from one another as possible to lessen interference between them.

Reference Guide www.hp.com 2–3

■ Do not place the monitor face down. Damage could result to

the front panel controls or the monitor screen.

Removing the Monitor Base

In the event that you need to disassemble the base from the monitor, follow these instructions:

1. If you must remove the base attachment, release the catch and slide the base toward the back of your monitor.

2. Lift the base up and away from your monitor.

2. Push the base toward the front of the monitor until it stops.

Monitor Installation

Before installing your monitor, place it in a convenient, well-ventilated location near your computer.

1. Turn off the power to your computer and other peripheral devices.

2. Connect the video cable (blue connector) 1 from the back of the monitor to the blue 15-pin connector on the back of the computer. Tighten the cable screws to secure the cable to the connector.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the video cable, ensure that the

cable aligns with the 15-pin connector. Do not force the cable onto the connector.

3. Connect the power cord 2 to the back of the monitor, then connect the power cord to a power outlet.

Reference Guide www.hp.com 3–3

Information Files

The CD-ROM included with this monitor contains two data files that must be installed onto your computer: an .INF file and an .ICM file.

The .INF file designates software and defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows to ensure monitor compatibility with the graphics adapter in your computer.

The .ICM file provides color matching consistency between your monitor screen and your printer. Once installed, this file is activated by graphics programs that have this color-matching feature.

To install these files on your computer:

1. Insert the Software and Reference Guide CD-ROM in your computer's optical drive.

Operation

2. When the CD-ROM menu launches, select Install INF and ICM Files.

3. To get the latest .INF and .ICM files, download them from the HP Web site. Access your monitor model to download the appropriate files.
