A Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

Important Safety Information

A power cord is included with t he m onitor . If another cord is used, use only a power source and connection appropriate for t his monitor. For inf or mation on t he correct power cor d set to use with the monitor, refer to the “P ower Cord Set Requirements” section in Agency Regulatory Notices.

Warning! To reduce the risk of electric shoc k or dam age t o the equipment:

• Do not disable the power cord gr ounding feature. The groundi ng plug is an important safety

feature.

• Plug the power cord into an easily accessible grounded o ut let .

• Disconnect the power fro m the equipment by unplugging t he pow er cord from the electrical

outlet.

For your safety, do not place any t hing on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may accidentally step on or t r ip 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 in jury, read the Safety and Comfort Guide. It describes proper workstation, setup, posture, and health and work ha bits f or computer users, and provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. This g uid e is l ocated on the Web at http://www.hp.com/ergo and/or on the document at ion CD, if one is included with the mo nit or .

CAUTION: For the protection of the mon itor , as w ell as the computer, connect all power cords for

the computer and its peripher al devices (such as a monitor, printer and scanner) to some for m o f surge protection device s uch as a power strip or Uninter r upt ible Power Supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips mu st be specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can rep lace the equipment, if surge protection fails.

Use the appropriate and c orrect ly siz ed fur niture d esign ed to pr oper ly supp ort y our HP LC D mon itor.

WARNING! LCD monitors that are inappropr iately situated on dressers, bookc ases, shelves,

desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause personal injury. Care should be taken to route all cor ds and cables connected to t he LCD monitor so that they can not be pulled, grabbed, or t r ipped over.

Safety Precautions

󲐀 Use only a power source and connection compatible w ith this monitor, as indicate d on the label/ back plate of the monitor. 󲐀 Be sure the total ampere rat ing of the products connected t o t he out let does not exceed the current rating of the electri ca l outlet, and the total ampere ratin g of the products connected to the power cord does not exceed the rating of the power cord. Look on the power label to deter min e t he ampere rating (Amps or A ) for each device. 󲐀 Install your monitor near a power outlet that you can eas ily r each. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Nev er disconnect the monitor by pulling t he cord. 󲐀 Do not allow anything to r est on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.

I f your monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, cont act 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 electr i ca l o utlet, and the total ampere rat ing of the products connected to the cord does not exceed the rat ing of the cord. Check 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. Discon nect 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

Product Environmental Notices

ENERGY STAR○

HP Displays marked with the ENERGY STAR U.S. Environmental Protect ion A gency (EPA) ENERGY ST AR STAR Partner, Hewlett Packard Company has determined that this product meets the EN ERGY STAR program requirements for display energy efficiency.

The following ENERGY STAR displays:

The ENERGY STAR○R program specifications for displays and computers were created by the EPA to promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollut io n through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories. One wa y products achieve this goal is by using the Microsoft Windows power management feature to reduce power consumption when the product is not in use. The power management feature enables the computer to initiat e a low -power or

“sleep” mode after a perio d of us er inactivity. When used with an external ENERGY STAR qualified display, this feat ur e also supports similar pow er ma nagement features for the di splay. To take advantage of these potential energy savings, u ser s should use the default power management settings that are provided with ENERGY STAR qualified computers and displays.

The default power management settings on ENERGY STAR behave in the following ways when the system is operating on A C p ower:

ENERGY STAR qualified displays resu me operation when the user resumes use of the computer . Examples include the user pressing the power/sleep button, receiving an input signal from an input device, receiving an input sig na l from a net wor k conne ct ion with t he Wake On L AN (WOL) feature enable d, etc.
