Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
Before you plug in your new monitor, read these important safety instructions.
For 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.
Thank 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 set-up and use recommendations for you to follow based on estab-
lished 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/
The 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, within an equilateral triangle, is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that 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 accompa-
nying the appliance.

Vertical and horizontal convergence
A white line on the screen is made up of red, green and blue lines. If there are no
convergence errors on the picture, the lines will be exactly overlaid and the resulting
color is white. If there is a serious convergence error, separate red, green or blue lines
will be seen instead of white.
• With Horizontal conv you may minimize the error in vertical lines.
• With Vertical conv you may minimize the error in horizontal lines.
Moire
The interference on the screen can be reduced with the help of moire adjustment.
