Safety and Maintenance  
Guidelines  
Important Safety Information  
A power cord is included with your 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  
your monitor, refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section  
in Appendix C.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your  
equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This  
equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded (earthed)  
power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding  
plug is an important safety feature.  
Å
Å
WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug  
the power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to the  
equipment as possible. When you need to disconnect the power to  
the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by  
grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.  
User Guide  
2–1  
     
Safety and Maintenance Guidelines  
CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your  
Ä
computer, connect all power cords for your 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 your equipment if surge protection fails.  
Maintenance Guidelines  
To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor:  
Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this  
product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered  
in the operating instructions. If your monitor is not operating  
properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your HP  
authorized 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 your 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 your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially  
increase the life expectancy of your monitor by using a screen  
saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.

Software and Utilities  
The monitor includes a CD that contains two files you can install  
on your computer:  
an .INF (Information) file  
an .ICM (Image Color Matching) file  
Adobe Reader is supplied on this CD and can be installed from  
the menu.  
If the monitor does not include a CD, the .INF and .ICM files can  
be downloaded from the HP monitors support Web site. See  
“Downloading from the Worldwide Web” in this chapter.  
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.  
User Guide  
4–7  
   
Operating the Monitor  
This monitor is 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. You may need to install the .INF file if  
these conditions are not met.  
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. The  
.ICM file contains a monitor color system profile. This file is  
activated from within graphics programs that support this feature.  
The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the  
International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile Format  
specification.  
Installing the .INF and .ICM Files  
After you determine that you need to update, you can install the  
.INF and .ICM files from the CD or download them.  
Installing from the CD  
To install the .INF and .ICM files on the computer from the CD:  
1. Insert the CD in the computer CD-ROM drive. The CD menu  
displays.  
2. View the “INF and ICM Readme” file.  
3. Select “Install INF and ICM Files.”  
4–8  
User Guide  
     
Operating the Monitor  
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
5. After the INF software has been installed, restart Windows.  
6. Ensure that the proper resolution and refresh rates appear in  
the Windows Display control panel.  
You may need to install the digitally signed monitor .INF and  
.ICM files manually from the CD in the event of an installation  
error. Refer to the INF and ICM Readme file on the CD.  
Downloading from the Worldwide Web  
To download the latest version of .INF and .ICM files from the  
HP monitors support Web site:  
1. Refer to http://www.hp.com/support and select your country  
region.  
2. Follow the links for your monitor to the support page and  
download page.  
3. Ensure your system meets the requirements.  
4. Download the software by following the instructions.  
Plug and Play  
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature  
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities  
according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor  
to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the  
level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its  
display capabilities.  
User Guide  
4–9  
     
Operating the Monitor  
The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C  
protocol. The host can request EDID information over the  
DDC2B channel.  
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL  
IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR  
THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE MUST  
BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.  
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the  
Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and/or the  
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The  
Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is  
designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power  
consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When  
there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out  
period, will automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces  
the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the video  
input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is  
automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen  
Saver" feature except the display is completely off. The display is  
restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.

Use Microsoft Windows shut-down mode, adjust  
CLOCK and FOCUS in the OSD menu or perform  
hot- key (AUTO-key).  
CLOCK (pixel frequency) controls the number of pixels scanned  
by one horizontal sweep. If the frequency is not correct, the  
screen shows vertical stripes and the picture has not correct  
width.  
FOCUS adjusts the phase of the pixel clock signal. With a wrong  
phase adjustment the picture has horizontal disturbances in light  
picture.  
For FOCUS and CLOCK adjustment use “dot-pattern” or  
Windows shut-down mode pattern.  
Error Messages and Possible Solutions  
Cable Not Connected - 1) Check that the signal-cable is properly

Entering User Modes  
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that  
is not preset if:  
You are not using a standard graphics adapter.  
You are not using a preset mode.  
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the  
monitor screen by using the on-screen display. Your changes can  
be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The  
monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the  
new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 15  
factory preset modes, there are four user modes that can be  
entered and stored.
