User’s Guide 1
INTRODUCTION
This user’s guide includes setup and basic operating information
for your Compaq flat panel monitor. You should be able to
perform basic computer-monitor operations with the information
presented here. The reference guide contained on the CD that
came with your computer provides additional configuration and
operating information.
Important Safety Information
ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This
equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded (earthed)
power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding
plug is an important safety feature.
ÅWARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug
the power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to the
equipment as possible. When you need to disconnect the power to
the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by
grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.
ÄCAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your
computer, connect all power cords for your computer and its
peripheral devices (monitor, printer, scanner, etc.) to some form of
surge protection device such as a power strip or UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply). Not all power strips provide surge
protection; they must be specifically labeled as having this ability.
Look for manufacturers that have a Damage Replacement Policy to
replace your equipment if their surge protection fails.
Retain and follow all product safety and operating instructions.
Observe all warnings on the product and in the operating
instructions.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electric shock, fire, and
damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions:

General Precautions
Heed service markings: Except as explained elsewhere in the
Compaq documentation, do not service any Compaq product
yourself. Opening or removing covers that are marked may
expose you to electric shock. Service needed on components
inside these compartments should be done by a Compaq
authorized service provider.
Damage requiring service: Unplug the product from the
electrical outlet and refer servicing to a Compaq authorized
service provider under the following conditions:
■The power cord, extension cord, or plug is damaged.
■Liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen into the
product.
■The product has been exposed to rain or water.
■The product has been dropped or damaged.
■There are noticeable signs of overheating.
■The product does not operate normally when you follow the
operating instructions.
Avoid hot areas: The product should be placed away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Avoid wet areas: Never use the product in a wet location.
Avoid pushing objects into product: Never push objects of any
kind into cabinet slots or other openings in the product. Slots and
openings are provided for ventilation. These openings must not
be blocked or covered.
Mounting Accessories: Do not use the product on an unstable
table, cart, stand, tripod, or bracket. Any mounting of the product
should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
306848-001.book Page 2 Wednesday, July 31, 2002 7:03 PM

User’s Guide 3
Avoid unstable mounting: Do not place a monitor with an
unstable base or a monitor heavier than 55 pounds (25 kilograms)
on top of a monitor support cover. Instead, place the monitor on a
work surface next to the docking base.
Use product with approved equipment: This product should be
used only with the Compaq computers and options identified as
suitable for use with your equipment.
Allow product to cool: Allow the product to cool before
removing covers and touching internal components.
Adjust the volume: Turn down the volume before using
headphones or other audio devices.
Safety Precautions for Power Cords and Accessories
Use the correct external power source: A product should be
operated only from the type of power source indicated on the
electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power
source required, consult your Compaq authorized service
provider or local power company. For a product that operates
from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions that are included with the product.
Select the correct voltage: Ensure that the voltage select switch
is in the correct position for the type of voltage you use (115 VAC
or 230 VAC).
Use an approved power cord: If you have not been provided
with a power cord for your product, you should purchase a power
cord that is approved for use in your country.
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage
and current marked on the product's electrical ratings label. The
voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the
voltage and current rating marked on the product. In addition, the
diameter of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm2/18AWG
and the cord should be between 5 and 6.5 feet (1.5 and 2 meters)
long. If you have questions about the type of power cord to use,
contact your Compaq authorized service provider.

Position the power cord carefully: Route the power cord so that
it will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by items placed
upon or against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical
outlet, and the point where the power cord exits the product.
Overloading: Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip,
or convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not
exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. If power strips are used,
the load should not exceed 80% of the power strip input rating.
Observe extension cord ratings: If an extension cord or power
strip is used, make sure that the cord or strip is rated for the
product and that the total ampere ratings of all products plugged
into the extension cord or power strip do not exceed 80% of the
extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit.
Do not use appliance converters: Do not attempt to power the
product with converter kits sold for appliances.
Handle battery packs carefully: Do not disassemble, crush,
puncture, short external contacts, dispose of in fire or water, or
expose a battery pack to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).
In addition, do not attempt to open or service a battery pack.
ÅWARNING: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with Compaq-specified batteries. Dispose of used
batteries according to the information in the User's Guide or
Reference Guide supplied with your product.
Cleaning: Unplug the product from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning, but NEVER use water to clean an LCD
screen.
Safety Precautions for Docking Bases

INTRODUÇÃO
Este guia do usuário contém informações básicas sobre
configuração e operação do monitor de tela plana Compaq. Você
conseguirá executar operações básicas na tela do computador
com as informações apresentadas aqui. O guia de referência
contido no CD que acompanha o computador contém
informações adicionais sobre configuração e operação.
Informações Importantes sobre Segurança
ÅAVISO: Para reduzir o risco de choque elétrico ou danos ao
equipamento, não desative o recurso de aterramento do cabo de
alimentação. Este equipamento foi projetado para ser conectado a
uma tomada de energia aterrada de fácil acesso ao operador. O
plugue de aterramento é um importante recurso de segurança.
ÅAVISO: Para sua segurança, verifique se a tomada elétrica na qual
você conecta o cabo de alimentação pode ser facilmente acessada
e está localizada o mais perto possível do equipamento. Quando
for necessário desconectar a energia do equipamento, desconecte
o cabo de alimentação da tomada elétrica segurando firmemente o
conector. Nunca puxe o cabo.
ÄCUIDADO: Para proteger o monitor e o computador, conecte todos
os cabos de alimentação do computador e de seus dispositivos
periféricos (monitor, impressora, scanner, etc.) em algum tipo de
dispositivo de proteção contra picos de energia como uma
extensão ou um UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply ou suprimento
de energia sem interrupção). Nem todas as extensões fornecem
proteção contra picos de energia; elas devem conter uma etiqueta
indicando que têm essa capacidade. Procure fabricantes que
sigam a política de substituição de equipamentos danificados, para
substituir seu equipamento se a proteção contra picos de energia
falhar.
