Installing a security cable
15
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.
Another message then appears to ask if you want to keep the monitor in power-saving mode or switch to
performance mode. You can choose which setting you prefer (select regions only).
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.

Saver mode.
Reassigning the OSD menu options
19
If your monitor supports Performance mode and you need to keep the USB ports enabled when the
monitor is in Auto-Sleep Mode, change the Power Mode setting from Power Saver to Performance.
NOTE: If you are connecting a computer that is not battery powered, you must change the Power
Mode setting to Performance mode.
To change the power mode setting:
1. Press the Menu button to open the OSD menu.
2. Select Power, select Power Mode, and then select Performance.
3. Select Back and close the OSD.
Using Auto-Sleep Mode
Your monitor has an energy-saving feature called Auto-Sleep Mode, which is a reduced power state. This
section describes how to activate or adjust Auto-Sleep Mode on your monitor.
When Auto-Sleep Mode is enabled, which it is by default, the monitor enters a reduced power state when
the computer signals low-power mode, which it does by the absence of either a 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 OSD controller to open the OSD.
2. In the OSD, select Power.
3. Select Auto-Sleep Mode, and then select Off.

Maintaining the monitor5
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.
CAUTION: Never spray cleaner directly onto the screen. It can run behind the bezel and damage
the electronics. Water dripping into the ventilation openings or other points of entry can cause
damage to the monitor. Protect your monitor by always consulting your user guide for cleaning
procedures, or go to http://www.hp.com/support and search for How to Clean Your Computer.
Maintaining the monitor
25
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. The cloth should be moist, but not wet. Allow the monitor to air-dry before use.
4. 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
energy-saver features.

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.
Standards and legislation
37
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)
Legislation and regulations
Accessibility of IT and information has become an area of increasing legislative importance.
The HP policy landscape website provides information about key legislation, regulations, and standards
in the following locations:
● United States
● Canada
● Europe
● Australia
