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 52 in Appendix C.

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.

4 Chapter 2 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines ENWW

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.

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 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 at the master power switch (on the back) 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.

The Information File

The .INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to ensure monitor
compatibility with the computer’s graphics adapter.

This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play compatible and the monitor will work correctly
without installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphic
card is VESA DDC2–compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and
Play does not work through separate BNC type connectors or through distribution buffers/boxes.

The Image Color Matching File

The .ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent
color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. These files are
activated from within graphics programs that support this feature.

NOTE: The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC)

Profile Format specification.

4 Operating the Monitor

Overview of Operation

If you are not familiar with HP Performance monitors, read this section for an overview of how they
operate. This will help you locate specific information elsewhere in this manual.

Your monitor provides for more than one source of input. It will scan the various inputs to find an active
one and display that image. You can change sources manually, using the SOURCE button on the front
panel. The scanning order is initially set to DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI, VGA, making DisplayPort the
default source of video.

Some models give you control of the scanning order and default source through an On-Screen Display
(OSD) menu. If your front panel has a menu (
prevent the monitor from switching sources.

If the monitor is not receiving any input, it will go into low power mode (“sleep”) and the LED on the
front will turn from blue to amber. This means that the monitor will sleep when the computer does,

unless it has some other source of input. You can send it into low-power mode using the power (
button on the front. The OSD lets you put sleeping and waking on a timer or stay awake all the time

(not recommended).

) button, it provides an OSD. The OSD also lets you

)

Your monitor displays its state through the LED on the front panel and through messages on the screen.
These indicators vary from one model to another, but all use the following LED indicators:

Blue – normal operation

●

Amber – low-power mode

●

Flashing blue – the input calls for higher resolution than the monitor can provide

●

Flashing amber – timed sleep, that is, the monitor is in low-power mode and will awaken on a

●

timer

No light – normal operation or power off

●

In addition to these indicators, some models use screen messages as well, detailed later in this chapter.

Image quality is well-controlled with digital inputs. For analog input, various tools are provided for
adjusting the quality: a software utility, an auto-adjust function, and options in the OSD.

ZR2040w and ZR2240w Model

The order in which these monitors scan the inputs begins with the DisplayPort, making it the default
input. If DisplayPort is inactive, the monitor will scan for an active input in this order: DVI-D, HDMI
(ZR2240w only), VGA. You can change the current input, the default source, and the scan order

Adjusting the Monitor Settings

You can use your computer software to set such parameters as sleep timer, resolution and color
temperature. Some monitor models provide for you to override the computer's settings with controls at
the monitor. Below are explanations of some of your options.

Using the HP Display Assistant Utility

HP Display Assistant, included on the software and documentation CD, is a software utility that guides
you through the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and background patterns designed
for each monitor control. Models ZR2040w, ZR2240w, and ZR2440w support the HP Display
Assistant.

The HP Display Assistant provides:

Accurate screen calibration through the use of step-by-step instruction Wizards to obtain the best

●

overall image quality.

Software control of the monitor image and color settings to eliminate dependence on the monitor's

●

front panel buttons and On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.

Defined preset display settings for each individual user in a multi-user environment.

●

Multiple preset display settings for a single user based on content and ambient lighting.

●

Asset Management and Power Management capabilities that include remote control for individual

●

displays or a group of displays on the domain from a centralized console application.

The HP Display Assistant Utility has two modes of operation: Wizard and OSD mode. The preferred
method of use is Wizard mode, which takes you through a step-by-step process to accurately calibrate
the monitor. This method relies on a sequence of steps that will give you the best display results.

NOTE: Refer to the HP Display Assistant user guide for additional information about the software.

Entering User Modes

A display mode is a combination of settings for resolution, horizontal frequency, and vertical
frequency. The monitor has preset modes from which it selects depending on the input it is receiving.
These are detailed in Appendix B, Technical Specifications on page 42. The monitor will also store
and recognize new modes if you change the settings yourself. The video controller signal may
occasionally call for this if you are not using a standard graphics adapter. To change resolution or
frequency, find the display settings provided by your computer's operating system.

Using the Auto-Adjustment Function

For models with analog input, you can optimize the screen performance for VGA by using the OK/auto
button on the monitor and the auto-adjustment pattern software utility on the CD provided.

36 Chapter 4 Operating the Monitor ENWW

Do not use this procedure if the monitor is using a DVI or DisplayPort input; the monitor adjusts itself
with these inputs. If the image source is VGA (analog), this procedure can correct the following
conditions:

Fuzzy or unclear focus

●

Ghosting, streaking or shadowing effects

●

Faint vertical bars

●

Thin, horizontal scrolling lines

●

An off-center picture

Energy Saver Feature

In addition to normal operating mode, your monitor has a low-power, or "sleep" mode that uses less
than .5 watts and from which it will awaken with any signal input. The monitor will go to sleep
automatically when it stops receiving input, so putting your computer on a timer is one way to put the
monitor on a timer. Some models also have their own sleep timers (see
The power LED on the front panel indicates the monitor's state: blue under full power, amber in sleep
mode, and blinking amber on a sleep timer.

Product Environmental Notices

ENERGY STAR® Qualification

As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has followed the EPA’s enhanced product
qualification and certification process to ensure that the products marked with the ENERGY STAR logo
are ENERGY STAR qualified per the applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

The following ENERGY STAR® certification mark appears on all ENERGY STAR qualified displays:

The ENERGY STAR® program specifications for displays and computers were created by the EPA to
promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in homes,
offices, and factories. One way 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 initiate a low-power or “sleep” mode after a
period of user inactivity. When used with an external ENERGY STAR® qualified display, this feature
also supports similar power management features for the display. To take advantage of these potential
energy savings, users 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 qualified computers are preset to behave in the following ways when the system is operating on
AC power:

Turn off an external display after 15 minutes of user inactivity

●

Initiate a low power sleep mode for the computer after 30 minutes of user inactivity

●

ENERGY STAR® qualified computers exit the low power sleep mode and ENERGY STAR qualified
displays resume 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
signal from a network connection with the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature enabled, etc.

Additional information on the ENERGY STAR® program, its environmental benefits and the potential
energy and financial savings of the power management feature can be found on the EPA ENERGY
STAR Power Management Web site at

D LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel

Policy

The TFT monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee
trouble-free performance. It is guaranteed to have no bright spots, that is, pixels that are always white.

A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel.

●

If a defective whole pixel is always turned off, it appears as a dark spot on a bright background.

●

A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and only

●

visible on a specific background.

To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions, in normal
operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm
(20 in).

The panel is 90% defect-free at the time of shipment. HP expects that, over time, the industry will
continue to improve its ability to produce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust
guidelines as improvements are made.
