Safety and Maintenance
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 of this guide.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This
Å
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
Å
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.

Guidelines
CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your
computer, connect all power cords for your computer and its
Ä
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.
■ Adjust only those controls that are discussed in the operating
instructions.
■ Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from
walls or other enclosures.
■ 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 use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional cleaning,
use an antistatic screen cleaner.
