							Connecting the Power Cord
1.Follow all electrical and power warnings
WARNING!To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your 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.
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. A power cord should be routed so
that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items that are placed upon it or against it.
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.
See 
Technical Specifications on page 24 for additional information.
2.Connect the round end of the power supply cord to the monitor then connect one end of the
power cord to the power supply and the other end to a grounded electrical outlet.
WARNING!To prevent injury from electrical shock, you should do one of the following if a
properly grounded electrical outlet is not available: (1) You should use an electrical outlet
adapter that provides proper grounding. (2) You should have a properly grounded electrical
outlet installed.
Figure 3-6  Connecting the Power Cord
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
Your monitor supports HDCP and can receive high-definition content. High-definition content is
available in many sources, such as Blu-ray Disc devices or HDTV air or cable broadcasts. If you do
not have an HDCP-enabled monitor, you will see a blank screen or a lower resolution picture when
playing high-definition protected content. Your computer graphics card and monitor must both support
HDCP to display protected content.

							Turning on the Monitor
1.Press the power button on the computer to turn it on.
2.Press the power button on the front of the monitor to turn it on.
CAUTION:Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that display the same static image on
screen for a prolonged period of time.* To avoid burn-in image damage on the monitor screen, you
should always activate a screen saver application or turn off the monitor when it is not in use for a
prolonged period of time. Image retention is a condition that may occur on all LCD screens. Monitors
with a “burned-in image” are not covered under HP warranty.
* A prolonged period of time is 12 consecutive hours of non-use.
When the monitor is powered on, a Monitor Status message is displayed for five seconds. The
message shows which input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting
(On or Off), the default source signal, the current preset display resolution, and the recommended
preset display resolution.
Selecting Video Input Connectors
The input connectors are:
●DisplayPort (digital)
●DVI-D connector (digital)
●HDMI connector (digital) 2310e model
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the
display. If two inputs are active, the monitor will display the default input source. If the default source
is not an active input, then the monitor will display the other input if it is active. You can change the
default source in the OSD by pressing the front panel Menu button and selecting Source Control >
Default Source.
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 base so that you do not topple the monitor while
changing the tilt.
