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 "Connecting the Power Cord" section in Setting Up the Monitor on page 6.  
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 http://www.hp.com/  
ergo and/or on the documentation CD, if one is included with the monitor.  
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.

Safety Precautions  
Use only a power source and connection compatible with 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  
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.  
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 (AMP 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 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.  
To prepare the monitor for shipping:  
1. Disconnect the power and video cables from the monitor.  
2. Press the button on the front of the pedestal and lift the monitor panel from the base.  
Figure 2-1 Removing the Monitor Panel

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.  
Assembling the Monitor  
Place the monitor in a convenient, well-ventilated location near your computer. Connect the monitor  
cables after you have assembled the monitor.  
NOTE: For displays with glossy bezels, consider the placement of the display as the bezel may  
cause disturbing reflections from surrounding light and bright surfaces.  
1. Set the monitor panel down on a flat, soft, protected table or desk surface.  
CAUTION: The screen is fragile. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing  
so can cause damage.
