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. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earth) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
warning:
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may
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.
caution:
For the protection of your monitor, as well as your 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.
warning:
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 http://www.hp.com/ergo and/or on
the documentation CD if one is included with the product.
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.
