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 "

on Chapter 3 .

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

cases, 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.

Safety Precautions

• Use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor, as

exceed the current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the
products connected to the power cord does not exceed the rating of the power
cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (Amps or A) for
each device.

2 Chapter 2. Safety and Maintenance Guidelines ENWW

• Install your monitor near a power 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

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.

• 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

• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. Never push objec ts 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 base, 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 the computer.

2. Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet or the power brick.

3. Clean the monitor plastics with a clean cloth dampened with water.

4. Clean the monitor screen with an antistatic screen cleaner.

CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile

substances to clean the monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the

3. Setting Up the Monitor

Unpacking the Monitor

1. Unpack the monitor. Make sure all contents are included. Store the packing box.

2. Turn off the computer and other attached devices.

3. Prepare a flat area to assemble the monitor. You may need a flat, soft, protected
area for placing the monitor screen-down while preparing it for installation.

Installing the Monitor

Connecting Monitor Cables

Connecting the VGA (Analog) Cable or DVI-D (Digital) Cable

Use a VGA video cable or a DVI-D cable to connect your monitor to your computer. To
use DVI, you must have a DVI-compliant graphic card. Connectors are located on the
back of the monitor. Be sure the computer and monitor are turned off and unplugged.

1. To connect the VGA cable (provided with select models)

Connect one end of the VGA video cable to the back of the monitor and the other end
to the VGA video connector on the computer.

2. To connect the DVI-D cable (provided with select models)

Connect one end of the DVI-D video cable to the back of the monitor and the other
end to the DVI-D video connector on the computer. You can use this cable only if your
computer has a DVI compliant graphics card installed. The monitor DVI-D connector
and cable are included.

Figure 3-3

Connecting the VGA or a DVI-D cable - connector locations may vary

High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

Your monitor supports HDCP and can receive high-definition content. High-definition
content is available in many sources, such as Blue-ray Disc devices or HDTV air or
cable broadcasts. If you do not have an HDCP-enabled monitor, you will see a blank
screen or a lower resolution picture when playing high-definition protected content.
Your computer graphics card and monitor must both support HDCP to display
protected content.

Connecting the Power Cable

1. Follow all Electrical and Power Warnings

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

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. A power
cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items that
are placed upon it or against it.

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.
