Important Safety Instructions  
Important Safety Instructions  
WARNING  
For your safety always connect equipment to a grounded wall outlet.  
Always use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such as the one  
provided with the equipment, or one in compliance with your national  
safety standards. This equipment can be disconnected from the power  
by removing the power cord from the power outlet. This means the  
equipment must be located close to an easily accessible power outlet.  
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the monitor's cover. There are no  
user-serviceable parts inside. Only qualified service personnel should  
service these parts.  
Make sure your computer is powered off before connecting or  
disconnecting a display peripheral.  
Working in  
Comfort  
Thank you for selecting HP monitor equipment.  
To optimize your comfort and productivity, it's important that you set  
up your work area correctly and use your HP equipment properly. With  
that in mind, we have developed some setup and use recommendations  
for you to follow based on established ergonomic principles.  
You can consult the online version of Working in Comfort preloaded on  
the hard disk of HP computers, or visit HP's Working in Comfort web  
site at:  
CAUTION  
The monitor is quite heavy (the weight is shown in the technical  
specifications). We recommend you ask the assistance of a second  
person when lifting or moving it.  
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, situated within an equilateral  
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated  
"dangerous voltage" which may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute  
a risk of electric shock.  
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert  
the user to the presence of important operating and servicing  
instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

and rotate the left and right edges of the image.  
Setting the Amount of Displayed Information  
It is recommended that you use a resolution of 800 x 600 at 85 Hz.  
This gives easy-to-read characters, a large amount of displayed  
information and a flicker-free image.  
You can make adjustments to the displayed image which are  
automatically saved for the resolution you are using. For example, if  
you adjust your monitor when working in SVGA, those settings are  
saved for SVGA. If you then work in VGA and change the image  
settings, they are saved for VGA. The next time you switch back to  
SVGA your previous settings are used automatically.  
To find out which resolutions are supported by your monitor, refer to  
“What Video Modes are Supported” on page 8. To change the screen  
resolution, please refer to the manual that came with your computer  
or your operating system documentation.  
Your monitor has a Plug and Play capability (VESA DDC1/2B  
standard) which enables it to identify itself to suitably equipped HP  
computers. This will automatically give you the best refresh rate for  
the resolution that you have set. Also, by using the appropriate  
software (when available) you can adjust the monitor settings  
directly from your computer

Supported Video Modes  
Your monitor supports the video modes shown in the table below.

Image Refresh Rate

640 × 400

60 Hz,  
CAUTION  
Selecting a video mode on your computer with a screen  
resolution/image refresh rate combination higher than 1024 × 768 at  
60 Hz can damage your monitor. Selecting a video mode not supported  
by your monitor will cause your monitor screen to blank.  
Minimizing Eye Strain  
To avoid screen flicker and minimize eye strain, use the highest  
supported image refresh rate for the chosen resolution. It is  
recommended that you use a refresh rate of 85 Hz. The image refresh  
rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed.  
Minimizing Energy Consumption  
If your computer supports VESA monitor power management (available  
on many HP computers), you can minimize the power consumed by the  
monitor. There are two power saving modes:  
Suspend mode1 (uses less than 15W). In this mode, the monitor's  
front panel indicator light is amber.  
Active off mode2 (uses less than 8W). In this mode, the monitor's  
front panel indicator light is amber.  
To set these power saving modes, refer to the manual that came with  
your computer. If your screen is not displaying an image, check the  
front panel indicator light first as your monitor may be in a power saving  
mode.  
1.  
2.  
Suspend mode is activated when vertical sync is cut by the video controller.  
Active off mode is activated when both vertical and horizontal sync are cut by the video  
controller.

Care and Cleaning  
Care and Cleaning  
Do not place anything on top of the monitor. Doing so may block the  
monitor vents and cause damage to the monitor due to overheating.  
Do not let liquid get on or into the monitor. To maximize screen life  
and prevent damage to the picture tube (such as burned phosphor  
due to leaving the same image on the screen for a long time), it is  
recommended that you:  
Use the monitor power management system (on HP computers) or  
a screen saver program.  
Avoid setting contrast and brightness to their maximum levels for  
prolonged periods.  
If you do not have a power management system or a screen saver  
program, switch the monitor off or reduce the brightness and  
contrast to minimum levels when the monitor is not in use.  
Your monitor has an anti-glare, anti-static screen coating. To prevent  
damage to the monitor screen's coating, use a regular household  
glass cleaner when cleaning the screen. To clean the screen:  
1
Switch the monitor off and remove the power plug (pull the plug,  
not the cable).  
2
Wet a soft cotton cloth with the cleaning solution and gently wipe  
the screen. Do not spray cleaner onto the screen because the  
cleaner may drip inside the monitor.  
3
Dry with a clean, soft cotton cloth. Do not use cleaning solutions  
containing fluoride, acids, or alkalis.  
Environmental Information  
HP has a strong commitment toward the environment. Your HP  
monitor has been designed to respect the environment as much as  
possible.  
HP can also take back your old monitor for recycling when it reaches  
the end of its useful life. In fact, HP has a product take-back program  
in several countries. The collected equipment is sent to one of HP's  
recycling facilities in Europe or the USA. As many parts as possible  
are reused. The remainder is recycled. Special care is taken for  
batteries and other potentially toxic substances, which are reduced  
to non-harmful components through a special chemical process. If  
you require more details about HP's product take-back program,  
contact your dealer or your nearest HP Sales Office.
