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 informat ion on the correct power cord set to use with the
monitor, refer to the 
Power Cord Set Requirements on page 28  in Appendix C.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord gr ounding feature. The grounding plug  is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) ou tlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect power from the product by unplu gging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cord s 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 com puter 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 moni tor, printer, scanner) to some form of surge
protection device such as a powe r strip or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Not all power strips
provide surge protection; t he power strips must be spec ifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power
strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replac ement Policy so you can replace the equipment, if
surge protection fails.

Maintenance Guidelines
To enhance the performance and extend the life of the monitor:
● Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to se
rvice this product yourself. Adjust only those
controls that are covered in the operating instru ctions. If the monitor is not operating properly or
has been dropped or damaged, contact an author ized 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 fr
om the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.
● Turn the monitor off when not in use. You can su
bstantially 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 ki
nd 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, aw
ay from excessive light, heat or moisture.
● When removing the monitor stand, you must lay the 
monitor face down on a soft area to prevent
it from getting scratc hed, 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.

3 Setting Up the Monitor
To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor, computer system, and other
attached devices, then follow the instructions below.
Installing the Monitor Stand
CAUTION: Do not touch the surface of the LCD panel. Pressure on the panel may cause non-
uniformity of color or disorientation of the liquid crys tals. If this occurs the screen will not recover to its
normal condition.
1. Lift the monitor panel from its box and place it face  down on a flat surface covered by a dry, clean
cloth.
2. Assemble the monitor stand by snapping the top of  the backplate into the cylindrical portion of the
stand.
