Important safety information

An AC 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 Product Notices provided on the optical disc or in your documentation kit.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

• Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.

• If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on the power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin, for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter. The grounding pin is an important safety feature.

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.

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

http://www.hp.com/ergo.

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 cannot be pulled, grabbed, or tripped over.

Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the AC outlet does not exceed the current rating of the outlet, and that 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 AC outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the AC outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.

Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.

NOTE: This product is suitable for entertainment purposes. Consider placing the monitor in a controlled

luminous environment to avoid interference from surrounding light and bright surfaces that may cause disturbing reflections from the screen.
