2 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines Important Safety Information For displays with glossy bezels, consider the placement of the display, because the bezel might cause distracting reflections from surrounding light and bright surfaces. For information on the correct power cord set to use with the monitor, see Power Cord Set Requirements on page 30. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: • Do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. • Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times. • Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.

CAUTION: 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 specifically labeled as having its ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can replace the equipment, if surge protection fails.

Important Safety Information

For displays with glossy bezels, consider the placement of the display, because the bezel might

cause distracting reflections from surrounding light and bright surfaces.

For information on the correct power cord set to use with the monitor, see

Power Cord Set

Requirements

on page 30

Use the appropriate and correctly sized furniture designed to properly support your HP LCD

Monitor.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

•

Do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety

feature.

•

Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

•

Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.

For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one

might accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from

the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.

To reduce the risk of serious injury, see the HP Safety and Comfort Guide on the HP website at

http://www.hp.com/ergo

or on the documentation CD. The guide describes proper workstation,

setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users, and provides important electrical

and mechanical safety information.

CAUTION:

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 specifically labeled as having its

ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can

replace the equipment, if surge protection fails.

WARNING:

LCD monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves,

desks, speakers, chests, or carts might fall over and cause personal injury. Care must be taken to

route all cords and cables connected to the LCD monitor so that they cannot be pulled, grabbed,

or tripped over.
