Back to Contents Page Safety and Maintenance Guidelines Important Safety InformationSafety PrecautionsMaintenance GuidelinesCleaning the Monitor Important Safety Information The power cord is designed for use with your monitor. To use a different cord, use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with your monitor, see Power Cord Set Requirements . 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. Connect the equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet. WARNING: For your safety, 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. To disconnect power from the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord. CAUTION: To protect your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords for your computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge protection device such as a power strip with surge protection 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. Safety Precautions CAUTION: Avoid applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing so can cause damage. • Use only a power source and connection compatible with 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 your 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. • 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 your monitor: • Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. If your monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your Hewlett-Packard authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider. • Adjust only those controls that are described in the operating instructions. • Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of your monitor by using a screen saver and turning off the monitor when not in use. • Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture. • 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. • Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. • Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface. • When removing the monitor pedestal base, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent it from getting scratched, defaced, or broken. Cleaning the Monitor The monitor is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning. To clean the monitor, follow these steps: 1 Turn off the computer and the monitor. 2 Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any volatile substances to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the monitor. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Never use water to clean an LCD screen. 3 Wipe the screen with a dry, soft, clean cloth. • If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic screen cleaner. 4 Dust the monitor housing. Use a damp cloth to clean the cabinet. • If the cabinet requires additional cleaning, use a clean cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. 5 Plug in the monitor. 6 Turn on the monitor and the computer.
