4 Maintaining the monitor
Maintenance guidelines
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/back
plate of the monitor.
● Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the AC 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 AC outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the
plug rmly and pulling it from the AC outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.
● Turn the monitor o 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 AC 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
1. Turn o the monitor and unplug the AC 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 diicult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol.
IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain any petroleum-based materials such as benzene, thinner, or
any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals may 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 may 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.
Shipping the monitor
Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You may need it later if you ship the monitor or move.
