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.

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
26
Chapter 5 Maintaining the monitor
background
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.
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.

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.
By setting the status of each signal port (USB Type-C, DisplayPort, or HDMI) to no signal standby timeout
in the OSD menu, you can program the monitor to initiate the reduced power state at a predetermined
time.

AccessibilityB
HP's goal is to design, produce, and market products, services, and information that everyone
everywhere can use, either on a standalone basis or with appropriate third-party assistive technology
(AT) devices or applications.
HP and accessibility
Because HP works to weave diversity, inclusion, and work/life into the fabric of the company, it is
reflected in everything HP does. HP strives to create an inclusive environment focused on connecting
people to the power of technology throughout the world.
Finding the technology tools you need
Technology can unleash your human potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you
create independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology helps increase,
maintain, and improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology.
For more information, see Finding the best assistive technology on page 32.
The HP commitment
HP is committed to providing products and services that are accessible for people with disabilities.
This commitment supports the company's diversity objectives and helps ensure that the benefits of
technology are available to all.
The HP accessibility goal is to design, produce, and market products and services that can be effectively
used by everyone, including people with disabilities, either on a standalone basis or with appropriate
assistive devices.
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.

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.

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.
