Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
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.
Working in
Comfort
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 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/
CAUTION 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, 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.

Using Your Monitor
Minimizing Eye Strain
To avoid screen flicker and minimize eye strain, use the highest
supported image refresh rate for the chosen resolution. It is
recommended that you use a refresh rate of 85 Hz. The image refresh
rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed.
Minimizing Energy Consumption
If your computer supports VESA monitor power management
(available on many HP computers), you can minimize the power
consumed by the monitor. There are two power saving modes:
•Suspend mode1(uses less than 8W). In this mode, the monitor's
front panel indicator light is amber.
•Active off mode2(uses less than 3W). In this mode, the monitor's
front panel indicator light is amber.
To set these power saving modes, refer to the manual that came with
your computer. If your screen is not displaying an image, check the
front panel indicator light first as your monitor may be in a power
saving mode.
Supported Video Modes
Your monitor comes with the standard modes shown in the table
below. It also supports intermediate video modes. With the
intermediate modes, the displayed image may need to be optimized
using the buttons on the front panel. All modes are non-interlaced.
Factory Preset Modes:
Recommended Mode: 1024 x 768 @ 85Hz
1. Suspend mode is activated when vertical sync is cut by the video controller.
2. Active off mode is activated when both vertical and horizontal sync are cut by the video
controller.

Care and Cleaning
18 EnglishEnglish
Care and Cleaning
Do not place anything on top of the monitor. Doing so may block the
monitor vents and cause damage to the monitor due to overheating.
Do not let liquid get on or into the monitor. To maximize screen life
and prevent damage to the picture tube (such as burned phosphor
due to leaving the same image on the screen for a long time), it is
recommended that you:
•Use the monitor power management system (on HP computers) or
a screen saver program.
•Avoid setting contrast and brightness to their maximum levels for
prolonged periods.
•If you do not have a power management system or a screen saver
program, switch the monitor off or reduce the brightness and
contrast to minimum levels when the monitor is not in use.
Your monitor has an anti-glare, anti-static screen coating. To prevent
damage to the monitor screen's coating, use a regular household
glass cleaner when cleaning the screen. To clean the screen:
1Switch the monitor off and remove the power plug (pull the plug,
not the cable).
2Wet a soft cotton cloth with the cleaning solution and gently wipe
the screen. Do not spray cleaner onto the screen because the
cleaner may drip inside the monitor.
3Dry with a clean, soft cotton cloth. Do not use cleaning solutions
containing fluoride, acids, or alkalis.
Environmental Information
HP has a strong commitment toward the environment. Your HP
monitor has been designed to respect the environment as much as
possible.
HP can also take back your old monitor for recycling when it reaches
the end of its useful life. In fact, HP has a product take-back program
in several countries. The collected equipment is sent to one of HP's
recycling facilities in Europe or the USA. As many parts as possible
are reused. The remainder is recycled. Special care is taken for
batteries and other potentially toxic substances, which are reduced
to non-harmful components through a special chemical process. If
you require more details about HP's product take-back program,
contact your dealer or your nearest HP Sales Office.
The cathode ray tube used in this monitor does not contain cadmium.
