Safety and Maintenance Guidelines
Important Safety Information
The power cord is designed for use with your monitor. To use a different cord, use only a power source and
connection compatible with this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with your monitor,
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable
the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. Connect
the equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet.
For your safety, 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. To disconnect
power from the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug
firmly. Never pull on the cord.
Before connecting cables, disconnect power from the monitor by unplugging the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one can 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 its plug.
CAUTION: To protect your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords for your
computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge
protection device such as a power strip with surge protection 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.
Safety Precautions
CAUTION: Avoid applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing so can cause damage.
• 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 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.
4
• 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.
• 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 your monitor:
• 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, contact your Hewlett-Packard authorized dealer, reseller, or
service provider.
• Adjust only those controls that are described in the operating instructions.
• Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of your monitor by
using a screen saver and turning off the monitor when not in use.
• Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture.
• 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.
• Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
• When removing the monitor pedestal base, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent it
from getting scratched, defaced, or broken.
Cleaning the Monitor
The monitor is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning. To clean the monitor, follow
these steps:
1 Turn off the computer and the monitor.
2 Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any volatile substances to clean the
monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the monitor. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Never use water to clean an LCD screen.
3 Wipe the screen with a dry, soft, clean cloth.
If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic screen cleaner.
•
4 Dust the monitor housing. Use a damp cloth to clean the cabinet.
If the cabinet requires additional cleaning, use a clean cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
•
5 Plug in the monitor.
6 Turn on the monitor and the computer.

Setup
Base and Tilt
Attaching the Base
1 Set the base on a flat surface, such as a table top.
2 Using both hands, position the pedestal over the base and press down firmly to lock in place. Make sure that
the base is securely locked in place before continuing with the setup procedure.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, avoid applying pressure to the panel front.

2 Squeeze the tabs in the bottom of the base to release the lock.
3 Remove the base from the pedestal.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, avoid applying pressure to the panel front.
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 stand so that you do not topple the monitor while changing the tilt.
2 Adjust the tilt by moving the monitor’s top edge toward or away from you.
CAUTION: To avoid breakage or other damage, do not touch the LCD screen while changing
the tilt.

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 in the range of 100–240V∿, 50/60 Hz, 1.5A.
The power cord set (flexible cord or wall plug) received with the monitor meets the requirements for use in the
country/region where the equipment was purchased.
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 4.94 ft (1.5 m) and 12 ft (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.

Plug and 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.
The DDC2B is a bi-directional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information
over the DDC2B channel.
LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy
The HP LCD Monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to high standards, to help
guarantee trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as
small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all vendors and is not
specific to the HP LCD Monitor. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or subpixels.
• A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue subpixel.
• A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot on a dark background), or it is always off (a dark
spot on a bright background). The first is the more visible of the two.
• A defective subpixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a
specific background.
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in normal
operating mode at a supported resolution and response rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in).
We expect that, over time, the industry will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic
imperfections, and we will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
