Maintenance Guidelines

To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor:
Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. If your monitor is not operating
properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
Adjust only those controls that are described in the operating instructions.
Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of your monitor by using a
screen saver and turning off the monitor when not in use.
Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
When removing the monitor pedestal base, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent it from
getting scratched, defaced, or broken.
