Safety and Maintenance Guidelines
Important Safety Information
A power cord is included with your 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 your monitor, refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section in Appendix C.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: 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.
CAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords for your 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 specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can replace your equipment if surge protection fails.
Maintenance Guidelines
To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor:
Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If your monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the label/back plate of the monitor.
Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the products connected to the cord does not exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for each device.
Install your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.
Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of your monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.
Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosal cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic screen cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean your monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the screen.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be locked or covered. Never push object of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive heat or moisture.
When removing the monitor base, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft are to prevent it from getting scratched, defaced, or broken.
Cleaning the Monitor
To clean the monitor, follow these steps:
- Turn off the monitor and the computer.
- Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean cloth.

Adjusting Screen Quality
Allow the monitor to warm up for 20 minutes before performing the following procedures.
The Auto-adjustment feature automatically fine-tunes the image quality each time a new video mode is displayed. If additional image quality improvement is desired, run the Auto-Adjust software on the CD and press the – (Minus) button on the monitor front panel to manually activate the Auto-Adjustment function.
For more precise adjustments, run the Auto-Adjust software on the CD, and use the Clock and Phase controls of the monitor to fine-tune the image.
Optimizing Analog Conversion
This monitor contains advanced circuitry that allows the flat panel screen to function like a standard monitor. Two controls in the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image performance: Clock and Clock Phase. Use these controls only when the auto-adjust function does not provide a satisfactory image.
The Clock must first be set correctly since the Clock Phase settings are dependent on the main Clock setting.
Clock—Increase/decrease the value to minimize any vertical bars or stripes visible on the screen background.
Clock Phase—Increase/decrease the value to minimize video distortion or video jitter.
When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using the Auto-Adjustment pattern application provided on the CD-ROM.
When adjusting the Clock and Clock Phase values, if the monitor images become distorted, continue adjusting the values until the distortion disappears. To restore the factory settings, select Yes from the Factory Reset menu in the on-screen display.
Identifying Monitor Conditions
Special messages will appear on the monitor screen when identifying the following monitor conditions:
Input Signal Out of Range— Indicates the monitor does not support the input signal because the resolution and/or refresh rate are set higher than the monitor supports. For 15" monitors, set the resolution and refresh rate to 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz. For 17" monitors, set the resolution and refresh rate to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz. Restart your computer for the new settings to take effect.
Going to Sleep— Indicates the screen display is entering a sleep mode.

If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen by using the on-screen display. Your changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 15 factory preset modes, there are 15 additional user modes that can be entered and stored.
Energy Saver Feature
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the Power light is green.
The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduced power state is entered into if the monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen blanks, the backlight turns off, and the Power light turns amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor utilizes less than 2 watts of power. There is a brief warm up period before the monitor returns to its normal operating mode.
Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called power management features).
The above energy saver feature only works when connected to computers that have energy saver features.
By selecting settings in the monitor's Energy Saver utility, you can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's Energy Saver utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.

LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy
The TFT monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP LCD. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels.
A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue subpixel.
A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot on a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright background). The first is the more visible of the two.
A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a specific background.
The HP display does not have more than:
3 bright dots.
5 dark dots.
5 total bright and dark dots.
No more than two adjacent (less than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge) defective pixels.
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions, in normal operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.).
HP expects that, over time, the industry will continue to improve its ability to produce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
