Safety and Maintenance

Guidelines

Important Safety Information

A power cord is included with your 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 your monitor, refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section in Appendix C.

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.

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.

User’s Guide 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:

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

product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If your monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your HP authorized 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 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 expectancy of your monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.

2–2 User’s Guide

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

■ 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 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 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.

■ 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.

Cleaning the Monitor

To clean the monitor, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the monitor and the computer.

2. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean cloth.

If the screen requires additional cleaning, use a clean cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.

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

substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the monitor. Never use water to clean an LCD screen.

Shipping the Monitor

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

Installing the Monitor Pedestal

To install the monitor pedestal:

1. Place the pedestal plate on your desktop or table and check to be sure the arrow on the underside of the plate is facing forward.
