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, see “Power Cord Set Requirements” in Appendix B.

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

equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. Connect the equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet.

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

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

CAUTION: To protect 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 a surge protection device such as a power strip with surge protection 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.

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

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. If your monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

■ Adjust only those controls that are described in the operating instructions.

■ 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.

■ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on 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.
