Important Safety Information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
Å
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.
WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug
Å
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.
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,
follow these guidelines:
■ Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this
product yourself. If your monitor is not operating properly, or
has been dropped or damaged, first unplug from power outlet,
then contact your Hewlett-Packard authorized dealer, reseller,
or service provider.
■ Adjust only those controls that are discussed in the operating
instructions.
■ Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from walls
or other enclosures.
■ 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 of your monitor by using a screen saver
program and turning off the monitor when not in use.
■ Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an
antistatic CRT screen cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other
Ä
volatile substances to clean your monitor or the screen. These
chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.

Partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has determined that this
product meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.
Specific details on using the Energy Saving features can be found
in the energy saver or power management section of the computer
manual.
Power Cord Set Requirements
The monitor power supply is provided with Automatic Line
Switching (ALS). This feature allows the monitor to operate on
input voltages between 100–120V or 200–240V .
The power cord set (flexible cord or wall plug) received with the
monitor meets the requirements for use in the country/region
where you purchased the equipment.
If you need to obtain a power cord for a different country/region,
you should purchase a power cord that is approved for use in that
country/region.
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage
and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The
voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the
voltage and current rating marked on the product. In addition, the
cross-sectional area of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm²
or 18AWG, and the length of the cord must be between 6 feet
(1.8 m) and 12 feet (3.6 m). If you have questions about the type
of power cord to use, contact your HP authorized service provider.
A power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon it or against it. Particular
attention should be paid to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point
where the cord exits from the product.

TCO‘99 Requirements
You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labelled
product. Your choice has provided you with a product developed
for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to
reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further
development of environmentally adapted electronics products.
Why do we have environmentally labelled
computers?
In many countries/regions, environmental labelling has become
an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods
and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as
computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that
environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products
and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to
satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of
these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

TCO‘99 Requirements
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy
consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both
the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all
methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the
environment (for example, acidic and climate-influencing
emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics
equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby
consumes a lot of energy.
What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which
provides for international and environmental labelling of personal
computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort
by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional
Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society
for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The
Swedish National Energy Administration).
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: Environment,
ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields,
energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence
and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame
retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other
things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the
manufacturer is obligated to have an environmental policy which
must be adhered to in each country/region where the company
implements its operational policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer
and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce
its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The
length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for
the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for
example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic
fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

Environmental Requirements
Flame Retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables,
wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at
least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a
computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances.
Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those
flame retardants are chemically related to another group of
environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing
bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to
severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating
birds and mammals, due to the bioaccumulative processes. Flame
retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear
that disturbances in foetus development may occur.
The relevant TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components
weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants
with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are
allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are
available.
Bioaccumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within
living organisms.

TCO‘99 Requirements
Cadmium
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the
color-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The
relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries, the
color-generating layers of display screens and the electrical
or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
Cadmium is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.
Mercury
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches.
It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The
relevant TCO’99 requirement states that batteries may not contain
any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any
of the electrical or electronics components associated with the
labelled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the
time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors
as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims
on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is
available.
Mercury is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.
CFCs (Freons)
The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor
HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the
product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed
circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the
ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on
earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer
(malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and
capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses,
causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO´99 requirement permits
the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been
developed.
Lead is a heavy metal that is Bioaccumulative.
