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.
Power Cord Set Requirements on page 25 in Appendix C.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the
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.

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.
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.
NOTE: Monitors with a “burned-in image” are 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 base, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent
●
it from getting scratched, defaced, or broken.
Maintenance Guidelines 3
Cleaning the Monitor
1. Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the back of the unit.
2. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean antistatic cloth.
3. For more difficult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: 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.

Entering User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset if:
You are not using a standard graphics adapter.
●
You are not using a preset mode.
●
It this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen by using the on-screen
display. Your changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The monitor
automatically stores the new setting, then recognized the new mode just as it does a preset mode.
Energy Saver Feature
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor uses less than 28 watts and the Power
light is green or blue.
The monitor also supports a power saver mode that is controlled by the computer. When the monitor
is in the reduced-power state, the monitor screen is blank, the backlight is off, and the Power light is
amber. The monitor uses minimum power. When the monitor is “awakened,” a brief warm-up period
occurs before the monitor returns to normal operating mode. The energy-saving reduced power state
activates if the monitor does not detect either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal.
The power-saver feature must be activated on your computer for this feature to work.
Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called
power management features).
NOTE: The above power saver feature only works when connected to computers that have energy
saver features.
By selecting the settings in the monitor's power saver feature, you can also program the monitor to
enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's power saver feature
causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It
allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used,
communicate additional information about its display capabilities.
The DDC2B is a bi-directional data channel based on the I2C protocol. The host can request EDID
information over the DDC2B channel.

Product Environmental Notices
ENERGY STAR® Qualification
HP Displays marked with the ENERGY STAR® certification mark meet the requirements of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR program. The EPA ENERGY STAR®
certification mark does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Hewlett
Packard Company has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® program
requirements for display energy efficiency.
The following ENERGY STAR® certification mark appears on all ENERGY STAR qualified displays:
The ENERGY STAR® program specifications for displays and computers were created by the EPA to
promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in
homes, offices, and factories. One way products achieve this goal is by using the Microsoft Windows
power management feature to reduce power consumption when the product is not in use.
The power management feature enables the computer to initiate a low-power or “sleep” mode after a
period of user inactivity. When used with an external ENERGY STAR® qualified display, this feature
also supports similar power management features for the display. To take advantage of these
potential energy savings, users should use the default power management settings that are provided
with ENERGY STAR qualified computers and displays. The default power management settings on
ENERGY STAR qualified computers are preset to behave in the following ways when the system is
operating on AC power:
Turn off an external display after 15 minutes of user inactivity
●
Initiate a low power sleep mode for the computer after 30 minutes of user inactivity
●
ENERGY STAR® qualified computers exit the low power sleep mode and ENERGY STAR qualified
displays resume operation when the user resumes use of the computer. Examples include the user
pressing the power/sleep button, receiving an input signal from an input device, receiving an input
signal from a network connection with the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature enabled, etc.
Additional information on the ENERGY STAR® program, its environmental benefits and the potential
energy and financial savings of the power management feature can be found on the EPA ENERGY
STAR Power Management Web site at

D LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy
The TFT monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to HP standards, to
guarantee trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperfections that
appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by
all vendors and is not specific to the HP LCD. These imperfections are caused by one or more
defective pixels or sub-pixels.
A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel.
●
A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot on a dark background), or it is always
●
off (a dark spot on a bright background). The first is the more visible of the two.
A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and
●
only visible on a specific background.
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions, in normal
operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm
(20 in).
HP expects that, over time, the industry will continue to improve its ability to produce LCDs with fewer
cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
