    							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.
    ●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 the computer.
    2.Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet.
    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 cabinet finish as well as the screen.
    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, video, and audio cables from the monitor.
    2.Set the monitor base on a soft, protected surface.

    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.Determine whether the monitor will be desktop mounted or wall-mounted. See Installing the
    Monitor in this chapter.
    4.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.
    5.You need a Phillips screwdriver for preparing the monitor for wall-mounting. You may need a
    straight-slot screwdriver to secure some cables.
    Installing the Monitor
    You can install the monitor on a desktop or wall-mount it. Place the monitor in a convenient, well-
    ventilated location near your computer. Connect the monitor cables after you have installed the
    monitor.
    NOTE:For displays with glossy bezels the user should consider the placement of the display as the
    bezel may cause disturbing reflections from surrounding light and bright surfaces.
    Unpacking the Monitor 7
     
    						
    							Preparing the monitor for desktop use
    1.Set the monitor screen face down on a flat, soft, protected table or desk surface with the support
    column overhanging the edge.
    CAUTION:The screen is fragile. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing
    so can cause damage.

    							7.Four threaded holes are exposed. These holes are for screws to attach the swing arm or other
    mounting fixture to the back of the monitor.
    Figure 3-7  Threaded holes for attaching wall mount
    8.Follow the instructions included with the mounting fixture to ensure that the monitor is safely
    attached.
    The four threaded holes that are on the back of the panel are compliant with the VESA standard

    Connecting Monitor Cables
    Connecting the VGA (Analog) Cable or DVI-D (Digital) Cable or HDMI Cable
    Use a VGA video cable, DVI-D cable or HDMI 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.
    Connecting Monitor Cables 11
     
    						
    							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 that is either integrated or installed. The monitor DVI-D connector and
    cable are included.
    Figure 3-8  Connecting the VGA or a DVI-D cable - connector locations may vary
    NOTE:When using a VGA or DVI signal, you must connect your audio separately because a
    VGA or DVI signal converts only video data, not audio data.
    3.Connecting the HDMI Cable (provided with select models)
    Connect one end of the HDMI cable (not provided) to the back of the monitor and the other end
    to a computer with an HDMI connector.
    Figure 3-9  Connecting the HDMI cable
    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 Blu-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
    12 Chapter 3   Setting Up the Monitor
     
    						
    							playing high-definition protected content. Your computer graphics card and monitor must both support
    HDCP to display protected content.
    Connecting the Audio Cable
    Connect the built-in monitor speakers to the computer by using the audio cable, as shown in the
    following illustration:
    Figure 3-10  Connecting the audio cables - connector locations may vary

    							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.
    See 
    Technical Specifications on page 31 (Appendix B) for additional information.
    Figure 3-11  Connecting the power cable
    2.Connect one end of the power cable to the monitor and the other end to a grounded electrical
    outlet.
    WARNING!To prevent injury from electrical shock, you should do one of the following if a
    properly grounded electrical outlet is not available: (1) You should use an electrical outlet
    adapter that provides proper grounding. (2) You should have a properly grounded electrical
    outlet installed.
    Adjusting The Tilt
    For optimal viewing, adjust the screen tilt to your own preference, as follows:
    1.Face the front of the monitor and hold the base so that you do not topple the monitor while
    changing the tilt.
