2 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines  
Important Safety Information  
A power cord is included with the monitor. If another cord is used, be sure that the power source and  
connection are appropriate for this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with  
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:  
Do not disable the power-cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.  
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet.  
• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.  
• Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.  
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one might  
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 computer users, and provides important  
electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is located on the Web at www.hp.com/ergo  
or on the documentation CD (if one is included with the monitor) or both.  
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 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 the  
equipment, if surge protection fails.  
Use the appropriate and correctly sized furniture designed to support your HP LCD monitor.  
WARNING! LCD monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,  
speakers, chests, or carts might fall over and cause personal injury.  
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the LCD monitor so that they cannot  
be pulled, grabbed, or tripped over.  
Safety Precautions  
Use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor, as indicated on the label  
of the power adapter.  
Be sure that 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  
power cord does not exceed the rating of the power cord. Look on the power label to determine  
the ampere rating (Amps or A) for each device.

Install the monitor near a power 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 the monitor:  
Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those  
controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operating properly or  
has been dropped or damaged, contact an authorized HP dealer, reseller, or service provider.  
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the label of  
the power adapter.  
Be sure that 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 power cord. Look on the power label to determine the  
ampere rating (AMP or A) for each device.  
Install the monitor near a power 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 the monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of the  
monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.  
CAUTION: 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 kind 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, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture.  
When removing the monitor base, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent  
it from getting scratched, defaced, or broken.  
Cleaning the Monitor  
CAUTION: Spray the cleaner on a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surface.  
Never spray the cleaner directly on the screen surface. It might run behind the bezel and damage the  
electronics.  
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 might damage 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 using a soft, clean antistatic cloth.

The monitor also supports a power-saver mode that is controlled by the computer. When the monitor  
is in the reduced-power state, the monitor screen is blank, the backlight is off, the Power light is  
amber, and the monitor uses minimum power. When the monitor is "awakened," a brief warm-up  
period occurs before the monitor returns to normal operating mode. The energy-saving reduced  
power state activates if the monitor does not detect either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical  
sync signal. The power-saver feature must be activated on your computer for this feature to work.  
Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on setting energy-saver features (sometimes  
called power-management features).  
NOTE: The energy-saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to computers that have  
energy-saver features.

3D Safety Information  
Carefully read all of the following safety precautions before using the 3D glasses and 3D monitor.  
WARNING! If you cannot see 3D content after you set up your 3D system, HP recommends that  
you discontinue use. Consult a physician if you suspect a physical problem seeing stereoscopic 3D.  
Photosensitive Epileptic Seizures—Some individuals may experience a seizure or other  
complications when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may  
appear in 3D content. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a  
physician before using the 3D glasses and 3D monitor. Even those without a personal family history  
of epilepsy or stroke may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause photosensitive epileptic  
seizures.  
If you experience any of the following symptoms, immediately stop watching 3D content and consult a  
physician: altered vision, light-headedness, dizziness, involuntary movements such as eye or  
muscle twitching, convulsions, nausea, loss of awareness, confusion, cramps, and/or  
disorientation. Parents should monitor and ask their children if they have any of the above  
symptoms. Children and teenagers may be more likely than adults to experience these symptoms.  
Do not watch 3D content when you feel sleepy, tired, or sick. Watching 3D with the 3D glasses for an  
extended period of time may cause a headache or fatigue. If you feel headache, fatigue, or dizziness,  
stop using the 3D glasses and rest.  
Your vision can change to accommodate viewing through the 3D glasses. After removing the 3D  
glasses, wait several minutes before resuming regular activities.  
Some 3D content may startle viewers. People who are pregnant, elderly, or epileptic, and those  
suffering from severe physical conditions are advised to avoid using the monitor's 3D functionality.  
The vision of young children (especially children under the age of 6) is still under development.  
Consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to watch 3D  
video images or play 3D videos games. Parents or guardians should supervise young children to  
ensure they follow these recommendations.  
Do not use the 3D glasses near water.  
To prevent damage to the lenses, use caution when using the glasses and properly store them when  
not in use. Do not use the glasses if there is any sign of damage or cracking in the lenses.  
The 3D glasses are not prescription eyewear, sunglasses, or protective goggles. To prevent personal  
injury, do not use the glasses for any general eyewear purposes.

You are not using a standard graphics adapter.  
You are not using a factory preset mode.  
It this occurs, you might 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 factory preset modes and saved in  
memory. The monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the new mode just like it  
does a factory preset mode. Also there are at least ten user modes that can be entered and stored.

LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy  
Your LCD monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to high standards, to help  
guarantee trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, the display might have cosmetic imperfections  
that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD monitor displays used in  
products supplied by all vendors and is not specific to your 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 refresh 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.  
For more information about your LCD monitor and pixel policy, refer to the HP Web site at:  
www.hp.com/support. To find pixel policy information on the HP Web site, type in "HP Pixel Policy" in  
the search box and press Enter.

Product Environmental Notices  
ENERGY STAR® Qualification  
HP Displays marked with the ENERGY STAR® certification mark meet the requirements of the U.S.  
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR program. The EPA ENERGY STAR®  
certification mark does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Hewlett  
Packard Company has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® program  
requirements for display energy efficiency.  
The following ENERGY STAR® certification mark appears on all ENERGY STAR qualified displays:  
The ENERGY STAR® program specifications for displays and computers were created by the EPA to  
promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in  
homes, offices, and factories. One way products achieve this goal is by using the Microsoft®  
Windows power management feature to reduce power consumption when the product is not in use.  
The power management feature enables the computer to initiate a low-power or "sleep" mode after a  
period of user inactivity. When used with an external ENERGY STAR® qualified display, this feature  
also supports similar power management features for the display. To take advantage of these  
potential energy savings, users should use the default power management settings that are provided  
with ENERGY STAR qualified computers and displays. The default power management settings on  
ENERGY STAR qualified computers are preset to behave in the following ways when the system is  
operating on AC power:  
Turn off an external display after 15 minutes of user inactivity  
Initiate a low power sleep mode for the computer after 30 minutes of user inactivity  
ENERGY STAR® qualified computers exit the low power sleep mode and ENERGY STAR qualified  
displays resume operation when the user resumes use of the computer. Examples include the user  
pressing the power/sleep button, receiving an input signal from an input device, receiving an input  
signal from a network connection with the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature enabled, etc.  
Additional information on the ENERGY STAR® program, its environmental benefits and the potential  
energy and financial savings of the power management feature can be found on the EPA ENERGY  
STAR Power Management Web site at www.energystar.gov/powermanagement.
