Important safety information
A power cord is included with the monitor. If another cord is used, use only a power source and connection
appropriate for this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with the monitor, refer to
the Product Notices provided in your documentation kit.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
• If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on the power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin
outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin, for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter. The grounding
pin is an important safety feature.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may
accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the AC outlet,
grasp the cord by the plug.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes proper workstation setup
and proper posture, and health and work habits for computer users. The Safety & Comfort Guide also provides
important electrical and mechanical safety information. The Safety & Comfort Guide is available on the web at
http://www.hp.com/ergo.
IMPORTANT: For the protection of the monitor, as well as the computer, connect all power cords for the
computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to some form of surge protection
device such as a power strip or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge
protection; the power strips must be specically labeled as having this capability. Use a power strip whose
manufacturer oers a damage replacement policy so you can replace the equipment if surge protection fails.
Use the appropriate and correctly sized furniture designed to properly support your HP LCD monitor.
WARNING! LCD monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,
chests, or carts may fall over and cause personal injury.
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the LCD monitor so that they cannot be pulled,
grabbed, or tripped over.
NOTE: This product is suitable for entertainment purposes. Consider placing the monitor in a controlled
luminous environment to avoid interference from surrounding light and bright surfaces that may cause
disturbing reections from the screen.

Product features and components 3

Component Function
13 USB Type-C port
(upstream)*
Connects a USB Type-C cable to a source device.
*The USB Type-C port (upstream) can function as a DisplayPort audio/video input, as a USB 3.0 upstream connection,
or it can be used to deliver up to 65 watts of power to a device. Power outputs are 5 V/9 V/10 V/12 V/15 V/20 V to
achieve 65 W output.
Setting up the monitor
Use caution when setting up the monitor
To prevent damage to the monitor, do not touch the surface of the LCD panel. Pressure on the panel may
cause nonuniformity of color or disorientation of the liquid crystals. If this occurs the screen will not recover
to its normal condition.
If installing a stand, position the monitor facedown on a at surface covered with protective sheet foam or a
nonabrasive cloth. This prevents the screen from getting scratched, defaced, or broken and prevents damage
to the control buttons.
Attaching the monitor stand
CAUTION: The screen is fragile. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the screen; doing so can cause
damage.
TIP: Consider the placement of the monitor, because the bezel might cause interfering reections from
surrounding light and bright surfaces.
1. Lift the monitor from its box and place it facedown on a at surface covered by protective sheet foam or
a nonabrasive cloth.
2. Slide the hinge cover on the neck of the stand onto the hinge on the back of the monitor, and press until
it clicks into place.
