2 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines Important Safety Information A power cord is included with the monitor. If another cord is used, be sure that the power source and connection are appropriate for this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with the monitor, see Power Cord Set Requirements on page 38. WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: Do not disable the power-cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Safety Precautions ● Use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor, as indicated on the label of the power adapter. ● Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the power cord does not exceed the rating of the power cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (Amps or A) for each device.
Cleaning the Monitor CAUTION: Spray the cleaner on a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surface. Never spray the cleaner directly on the screen surface. It might run behind the bezel and damage the electronics. 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 might damage the monitor. 1. Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the back of the unit. 2.
3 Setting Up the Monitor Unpacking the Monitor 1. Unpack the monitor. Make sure all contents are included. Store the packing box. 2. Turn off the computer and other attached devices. 3. Prepare a flat area to assemble the monitor. You may need a flat, soft, protected area for placing the monitor screen-down while preparing it for installation. Assembling the Monitor Place the monitor in a convenient, well-ventilated location near your computer.
2. Slide the pedestal into the slot on the base (1) until the pedestal clicks into the base. NOTE: The bottom side of the monitor base might look different on your model. 2511x and 2711x models only: Install one screw (2) in the base to secure the pedestal to the base. Figure 3-1 Assembling the Base and Pedestal 2 3. Slide the hinge bracket on the monitor into the opening on top of the pedestal. The panel will click into place when fully inserted.
Connecting Monitor Cables CAUTION: Before connecting cables to the monitor, ensure that the computer and monitor are powered off. NOTE: When using a DVI, VGA, or HDMI signal, you must connect your audio output to external speakers. The video source is determined by the video cable used. The monitor will automatically determine which inputs have valid video signals. The inputs can be selected by pressing the source button on the front panel.
Connecting the DVI-D Video Cable (Select Models) Connect one end of the DVI-D video cable to the back of the monitor and the other end to the DVI-D video connector on the computer.

If HDMI is not activated, you can not hear any sound. To activate HDMI sound on your computer: 1. Right-click on the volume icon in the Windows system tray. 2. Click Playback Devices. The sound window opens. 3. On the Playback tab, click the HDMI output audio device that is listed. 4. Click Set Default. 5. Click Apply. 6.
2. Connect the round end of the power supply cord to the monitor, and then connect one end of the power cord to the power supply and the other end to a grounded electrical outlet. WARNING! To prevent injury from electrical shock, you should do one of the following if a properly grounded electrical outlet is not available: (1) You should use an electrical outlet adapter that provides proper grounding. (2) You should have a properly grounded electrical outlet installed.
Installing the Cable Management Clip Install the cable management clip over the input cable and power cord to gather them together behind the monitor. Figure 3-7 Installing the Cable management Clip High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) select models Your monitor supports HDCP and can receive high-definition content. High-definition content is available in many sources, such as Blu-ray disc devices or HDTV air or cable broadcasts.

The message shows which input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or Off), the default source signal, the current preset display resolution, and the recommended preset display resolution.
Connecting External Speakers and Audio Cable (Select Models) Use the following procedure to connect the external speakers to a computer. 1. Turn the computer on. 2. Connect the audio cable to the audio-speaker connector on the computer, and then connect the USB power cable to a USB connector on the computer. NOTE: Use the volume controls on the computer to adjust the speaker volume.
Wall Mounting the Monitor Panel To mount the monitor panel to an existing wall mounting device or swing arm, purchase an HP mounting accessory kit. Mounting devices can be purchased separately from HP. Visit www.hp.com/ support for ordering information. CAUTION: When handling the monitor, be careful to avoid scratching the screen.
