Getting Started
Important safety information
A power cord is included with the monitor. If you use another cord, use only a power source and
connection appropriate for this monitor. For information about the correct power cord set to use with the
monitor, see the Product Notices provided on the web at: http://www.hp.com/go/regulatory.
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.
•If the power cord has a three-pin attachment plug, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed)
three-pin outlet.
•Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet. When
unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Take care to route all cords and cables
connected to the monitor so that they cannot be stepped on, pulled, grabbed, or tripped over.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide available on the web at
https://hyperx.gg/ergo. It describes proper workstation setup and proper posture, health, and work
habits for computer users. The Safety & Comfort Guide also provides important electrical and
mechanical safety information.
IMPORTANT: For the protection of the monitor and the computer, connect all power cords for the
computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to a surge protection device
such as a power strip or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge
protection; the power strip must be specifically labeled as having this capability. Use a power strip
whose manufacturer offers a damage replacement policy so that you can replace the equipment if surge
protection fails.
Use the appropriate and correctly sized furniture designed to properly support your monitor.
WARNING! Monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,
chests, or carts could fall over and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Stability hazard: The device might fall, causing serious personal injury or death. To prevent
injury, securely attach the monitor to the floor or wall in accordance with the installation instructions.
WARNING! This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.

HyperX watermark and image retention policy
Some monitors are designed with In-Plane Switching (IPS) display technology, which provides ultrawide
viewing angles and advanced image quality. Though suitable for many applications, this panel
technology is not suitable for static, stationary, or fixed images for long periods of time, unless you use
screen savers.
Applications with static images can include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and
templates. Static images can cause image retention damage that could look like stains or watermarks on
the monitor's screen.
Image retention damage on monitors that are in use 24 hours per day is not covered under the HP
warranty. To avoid image retention damage, always turn off the monitor when it is not in use, or use the
power management setting, if supported on your computer, to turn off the monitor when the computer
is idle.
Mounting multiple monitors
To mount multiple monitors to a single mounting pole, you need to purchase the HyperX Armada
Gaming Mount Addon.
