Important Safety Instructions

Important Safety Instructions
WARNINGFor 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 PC is powered off before connecting or 
disconnecting a display peripheral.
Working in 
ComfortThank 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:
http://www.hp.com/ergo/
CAUTIONThe 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.!
