							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/ 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. ● Install the 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. ● 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. ● 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 1. Turn off the monitor and the computer. 2. Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet. 3. Clean the monitor plastics with a clean cloth dampened with water. 4. Clean the monitor screen with an antistatic screen cleaner. CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean the 
monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.   Shipping the Monitor  
Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You may need it later if you move or ship the monitor. ENWW Maintenance Guidelines 5    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
						

							3 Setting Up the Monitor Unpacking the Monitor 1. Unpack the monitor. Make sure all contents are included. Store the packing box. 2. Turn off the computer and other attached devices. 3. Determine whether the monitor will be desktop mounted or wall-mounted. See “Installing the Monitor” in this chapter. 4. Prepare a flat area to assemble the monitor. You may need a flat, soft, protected area for placing the monitor screen-down while preparing it for installation. 5. You need a Phillips screwdriver for preparing the monitor for wall-mounting. You may need a straight-slot screwdriver to secure some cables. Installing the Monitor  
You can install the monitor on a desktop or wall-mount it. Place the monitor in a convenient, well- 
ventilated location near your computer. Connect the monitor cables after you have installed the monitor. Preparing the monitor for desktop use 1. Set the monitor screen face down on a flat, soft, protected table or desk surface with the support column overhanging the edge. CAUTION: The screen is fragile. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing so can cause damage.   6 Chapter 3   Setting Up the Monitor ENWW

							NOTE: If your computer has a DVI connector and no VGA connector, use a DVI-I to VGA adapter to connect your computer to the monitor. Connect the DVI-I to VGA adapter to the DVI connector on the computer graphic card, and connect the VGA cable to the adapter and the monitor.   Connect one end of the VGA video cable to the back of the monitor and the other end to the VGA video connector on the computer.                                Connecting Cables  
Connecting the VGA (Analog) Cable or DVI-D (Digital) Cable 
 
Use a VGA video cable or a DVI-D (select models) cable to connect your monitor to your computer. 1. To connect the VGA cable (provided with select models) 2. To connect the DVI-D cable (provided with select models) Connect one end of the DVI-D video cable to the back of the monitor and the other end to the DVI-
D video connector on the computer. You can use this cable only if your computer has a DVI 
compliant graphics card installed. The monitor DVI-D connector and cable are included with select models only. Figure 3-6  Connecting the VGA or a DVI-D (select models) cable High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HPCD) (Select Models) 
If your monitor supports HDCP, it can receive high-definition content. High-definition content is available 
in many sources, such as Blue-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.   10 Chapter 3   Setting Up the Monitor ENWW

Connect the built-in monitor speakers to the computer by using the audio cable, as the 
following illustration shows Figure 3-7  Connecting the audio cables (select models) NOTE:   When using a VGA or DVI signal, you must connect your audio separately because a 
VGA or DVI signal converts only video data, not audio data.      ENWW Connecting Cables 11  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
						

							Connecting the Power Cable 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” (Appendix B) for additional information. Figure 3-8 Connecting the power cable 2. Connect one end of the power cable to the monitor 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.                                                                                  12 Chapter 3   Setting Up the Monitor ENWW
