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 stand, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent it from
getting scratched, defaced, or broken.

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.

Shipping the monitor

Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You may need it later if you move or ship 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.

If 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, 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 entered into if the monitor
detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the
absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off, 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 state.

Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting the energy saver mode (sometimes called power
management feature).

NOTE: The above power saver feature only works when connected to computers that have energy saver

modes.

By selecting the settings in the monitor's Sleep Timer utility, you can also program the monitor to enter into
the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's Sleep Timer utility causes the monitor
to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
