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.

1. Tilt the monitor head forward or backward to set it to a comfortable eye level.

1. Adjust the monitor's height to a comfortable position for your individual workstation. The monitor's top bezel edge should not exceed a height that is parallel to your eye height. A monitor that is positioned low

and reclined might be more comfortable for users with corrective lenses. Reposition your monitor as you adjust your working posture throughout the work day.

1. Swivel the monitor head to the left or right for the best viewing angle.

1. You can pivot the monitor head from landscape to portrait orientation viewing to adapt to your application.

CAUTION: It is recommended to disconnect all cables before pivoting the monitor from landscape to portrait. If you pivot the monitor with the cables connected, there is a risk of damaging the cables or the connectors.

IMPORTANT: If the monitor is not in full height and full tilt position when pivoting, the bottom right corner of the monitor panel will come in contact with the base and potentially cause damage to the monitor.

If you are adding an optional speaker bar to the monitor, install it after pivoting the monitor. The speaker bar will come in contact with the base when the monitor pivots and potentially cause damage to the monitor or speaker bar.

a. Adjust the monitor to full height position and tilt the monitor back to full tilt position (1).

b. Pivot the monitor clockwise or counterclockwise 90 degrees from landscape to portrait orientation (2).

NOTE: Use the operating system's display settings to rotate the image on the screen from landscape to portrait. To rotate the OSD from portrait to landscape, open the OSD menu and select Image Adjustment, select On-Screen Menu Rotation, and then select Portrait.

Installing a security cable

As a security measure, you can secure the monitor to a fixed object with an optional security cable available from HP. Use the key that came with the optional security cable to attach and remove the lock.

Turning on the monitor

This section provides important information about preventing damage to your monitor, startup indicators, and troubleshooting information.

IMPORTANT: Burn-in image damage might occur on monitors that display the same static image on the screen for 12 or more hours. To avoid burn-in image damage, you should always activate a screen saver application or turn off the monitor when it will not be in use for a prolonged period of time. Image retention

is a condition that might occur on all LCD screens. Burn-in damage on the monitor is not covered under the HP warranty.

Press the power button on the monitor to turn it on.

NOTE: If pressing the power button has no effect, the Power Button Lockout feature might be enabled. To disable this feature, press and hold the monitor power button for 10 seconds.

When you first turn on your monitor, a monitor status message is displayed for 5 seconds. The message shows which input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or Off; default setting is On), the current preset display resolution, and the recommended preset display resolution.

The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the display.

HP 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.

Using Auto-Sleep Mode

Your monitor has an energy-saving feature called Auto-Sleep Mode, a reduced power state. This section describes how to activate or adjust Auto-Sleep Mode on your monitor.

When Auto-Sleep Mode is enabled (enabled by default), the monitor enters a reduced power state when the computer signals low power mode (absence of either horizontal or vertical sync signal).

Upon entering this reduced power state (Auto-Sleep mode), the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight turns off, and the power light turns amber. The monitor draws less than 0.5 W of power when in this reduced power state. The monitor wakes from Auto-Sleep mode when the computer sends an active signal to the monitor (for example, when you activate the mouse or keyboard).

To disable Auto-Sleep Mode in the OSD:

1. Press the Menu button to open the OSD, or press the center of the Joypad to open the OSD.
2. In the OSD, select Power.
3. Select Auto-Sleep Mode, and then select Off.

Support and troubleshooting3

If your monitor is not working as expected, you might be able to resolve the issue by following the instructions in this section.

Using the self-test function

Maintaining the monitor4

Properly maintained, your monitor can run for many years. These instructions provide steps you can perform to keep your monitor in the best condition.

Maintenance guidelines

Follow these instructions to enhance the performance and extend the life of the monitor.

• Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact an authorized HP dealer, reseller, or service provider.
• Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the label or back plate of the monitor.
• Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the AC outlet and that the total ampere 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 the 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 the monitor off when it is not in use, and use a screen saver program. Doing this can substantially increase the life expectancy of the monitor.

NOTE: A burned-in image on the monitor is not covered under the HP warranty.

• Never block the slots and openings of the cabinet or push objects into them. These openings provide ventilation.
• Do not drop the 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 light, heat, or moisture.

Cleaning the monitor

Use these instructions to clean your monitor when necessary.

1. Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
2. Disconnect any external devices.
3. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean antistatic cloth.
4. For more difficult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and isopropyl alcohol.

IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain petroleum-based materials such as benzene, thinner, or any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals might damage the monitor.

IMPORTANT: Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surface. Never spray the cleaner directly on the screen surface. It can run behind the bezel and damage the electronics. The cloth should be moist, but not wet. Water dripping into the ventilation openings or other points of entry can cause damage to the monitor. Allow the monitor to air-dry before use.

1. After you remove the dirt and debris, you can also clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends cleaning surfaces, followed by disinfection, as a best practice for preventing the spread of viral respiratory illnesses and harmful bacteria. A disinfectant that is within HP's cleaning guidelines is an alcohol solution consisting of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water. This solution is also known as rubbing alcohol and is sold in most stores.

Shipping the monitor

Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You might need it later if you ship the monitor or move.

Energy saver feature

This monitor supports a reduced power state.

The reduced power state is initiated if the monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blank, the backlight is turned off, and the power light turns amber. In the reduced power state, the monitor uses < 0.5 W of power. There is a brief warm-up period before the monitor returns to its normal operating state.

See the computer manual for instructions on setting the energy saver mode (sometimes called "power management feature").

NOTE: This power saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to a computer that has the energy-saver features.

To achieve that goal, this Accessibility Policy establishes seven key objectives to guide HP actions. All HP managers and employees are expected to support these objectives and their implementation in accordance with their roles and responsibilities:

• Raise the level of awareness of accessibility issues within HP, and provide employees with the training they need to design, produce, market, and deliver accessible products and services.
• Develop accessibility guidelines for products and services, and hold product development groups accountable for implementing these guidelines where competitively, technically, and economically feasible.
• Involve people with disabilities in the development of accessibility guidelines and in the design and testing of products and services.
• Document accessibility features, and make information about HP products and services publicly available in an accessible form.
• Establish relationships with leading assistive technology and solution providers.
• Support internal and external research and development that improves assistive technology relevant to HP products and services.
• Support and contribute to industry standards and guidelines for accessibility.

International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP)

IAAP is a not-for-profit association focused on advancing the accessibility profession through networking, education, and certification. The objective is to help accessibility professionals develop and advance their careers and to better enable organizations to integrate accessibility into their products and infrastructure.

As a founding member, HP joined to participate with other organizations to advance the field of accessibility. This commitment supports HP's accessibility goal of designing, producing, and marketing products and services that people with disabilities can effectively use.

IAAP will make the profession strong by globally connecting individuals, students, and organizations to learn from one another.

Finding the best assistive technology

Everyone, including people with disabilities or age-related limitations, should be able to communicate, express themselves, and connect with the world using technology. HP is committed to increasing accessibility awareness within HP and with our customers and partners.

Whether it's large fonts that are easy on the eyes, voice recognition that lets you give your hands a rest, or any other assistive technology to help with your specific situation—a variety of assistive technologies make HP products easier to use. How do you choose?

Assessing your needs

Technology can unleash your potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you create independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology (AT) helps increase, maintain, and improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology.

You can choose from many AT products. Your AT assessment should allow you to evaluate several products, answer your questions, and facilitate your selection of the best solution for your situation. You will find that professionals qualified to do AT assessments come from many fields, including those licensed or certified in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language pathology, and other areas of expertise. Others, while not certified or licensed, can also provide evaluation information. You will want to ask about the individual's experience, expertise, and fees to determine if they are appropriate for your needs.

Standards and legislation

Countries worldwide are enacting regulations to improve access to products and services for persons with disabilities. These regulations are historically applicable to telecommunications products and services, PCs and printers with certain communications and video playback features, their associated user documentation, and their customer support.

Standards

The US Access Board created Section 508 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards to address access to information and communication technology (ICT) for people with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities.

The standards contain technical criteria specific to various types of technologies, as well as performance-based requirements which focus on functional capabilities of covered products. Specific criteria cover software applications and operating systems, web-based information and applications, computers, telecommunications products, video and multimedia, and self-contained closed products.

Mandate 376-EN 301 549

The European Union created the EN 301 549 standard within Mandate 376 as an online toolkit for public procurement of ICT products. The standard specifies the accessibility requirements applicable to ICT products and services, with a description of the test procedures and evaluation methodology for each requirement.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) helps web designers and developers create sites that better meet the needs of people with disabilities or age-related limitations.

WCAG advances accessibility across the full range of web content (text, images, audio, and video) and web applications. WCAG can be precisely tested, is easy to understand and use, and allows web developers flexibility for innovation. WCAG 2.0 has also been approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2012.

WCAG specifically addresses barriers to accessing the web experienced by people with visual, auditory, physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities, and by older web users with accessibility needs. WCAG 2.0 provides characteristics of accessible content:

• Perceivable (for instance, by addressing text alternatives for images, captions for audio, adaptability of presentation, and color contrast)
• Operable (by addressing keyboard access, color contrast, timing of input, seizure avoidance, and navigability) • Understandable (by addressing readability, predictability, and input assistance)
• Robust (for instance, by addressing compatibility with assistive technologies)
