Safety Guidelines
Power Requirements
Refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” on page C–4 for
information on the correct power cord set for this device.
Important Safety Information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
Å
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.
2
Guidelines
WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug
Å
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.
CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your
Ä
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.

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines
Maintenance Guidelines
To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor,
follow these guidelines:
■ 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, first unplug from power outlet,
then contact your Hewlett-Packard 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.
■ Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially
increase the life of your monitor by using a screen saver
program and turning off the monitor when not in use.
■ 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 CRT screen cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other
Ä
volatile substances to clean your monitor or the screen. These
chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.
2–2 User’s Guide
Safety and Maintenance Guidelines
■ 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 place plants on top of your monitor. Water or dirt from
the plant may get into the vents.
■ 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. Keep your monitor away
from high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and other
devices with strong magnetic fields.
■ In a two-monitor system, place your monitors as far apart from
one another as possible to lessen interference between them.
■ Do not place the monitor face down. Damage could result to
the front panel controls or the monitor screen.
