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

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.

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.

Power Cord Set Requirements on page 36.

http://www.hp.com/

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.

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 (AMPS or A) for each device.

ENWW Important Safety Information 3

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.

Using the HP Display Assistant Utility

HP Display Assistant, included on the software and documentation CD, is a software utility that guides you through the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and background patterns designed for each monitor control. It provides:

Accurate screen calibration through the use of step-by-step instruction Wizards to obtain the

●

best overall image quality.

Software control of the monitor image and color settings to eliminate dependence on the

●

monitor’s front panel buttons and On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.

Defined preset display settings for each individual user in a multi-user environment.

●

22 Chapter 4 Operating the Monitor ENWW

Multiple preset display settings for a single user based on content and ambient lighting.

●

● Asset Management and Power Management capabilities that include remote control for

individual or a group of displays on the domain from a centralized console application.

The HP Display Assistant Utility has two modes of operation: Wizard and OSD mode. The preferred method of use is Wizard mode, which takes you through a step-by-step process to accurately calibrate the monitor. This method relies on a sequence of steps that will obtain the best display results when completed.
