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 40.
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.
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.

3 Setting Up the Monitor
To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor, computer system, and other
attached devices, then follow the instructions below.
Unfolding the Monitor Pedestal Base
1. Lift the monitor from its box and place it face down on a flat surface.
2. Hold down the monitor base with one hand (1) then grasp the top of the stand with the other
hand and unfold the display head 90 degrees (2).
CAUTION: Do not touch the surface of the LCD panel. Pressure on the panel may cause non-
uniformity of color or disorientation of the liquid crystals. If this occurs the screen will not recover to its
normal condition.
Figure 3-1 Unfolding the Monitor Pedestal Base
NOTE: When the monitor is unfolded for the first time, the display head is locked from adjusting to a
full-height position. To adjust the display head to full height, press down on the display head to unlock
it then pull up on the display head to raise it to the full-height position. Refer to step 3 in
Monitor on page 9.

Connecting the Cables
1. Place the monitor in a convenient, well-ventilated location near the computer.
2. Remove the cable management clip from the pedestal by pulling outward on the two sides of the
clip (1) then lifting the clip off the pedestal (2).
Figure 3-3 Removing the Cable Management Clip
3. Connect a VGA signal cable, DVI-D signal cable, or DisplayPort signal cable.
NOTE: The monitor is capable of supporting either analog or digital input. The video mode is
determined by the video cable used. The monitor will automatically determine which inputs have
valid video signals. The inputs can be selected by pressing the +/source button on the front
panel or through the On-Screen Display (OSD) feature by pressing the Menu button.
For analog operation, use the VGA signal cable provided. Connect the VGA signal cable to
●
the VGA connector on the rear of the monitor and the other end to the VGA connector on
the computer.
For DVI digital operation, use the DVI-D signal cable provided. Connect the DVI-D signal
●
cable to the DVI connector on the rear of the monitor and the other end to the DVI
connector on the computer.
For DisplayPort digital operation, use a DisplayPort signal cable (not provided). Connect
●
the DisplayPort signal cable to the DisplayPort connector on the rear of the monitor and the
other end to the DisplayPort connector on the computer.
4. Connect one end of the provided USB cable to the USB hub connector on the rear panel of the
computer, and the other end to the upstream USB connector on the monitor.
ENWW Connecting the Cables 7
5. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC power connector on the back of the monitor, and
the other end to an electrical wall outlet.
Figure 3-4 Connecting the Cables
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
