Setting up the monitor
WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes proper 
workstation setup and proper posture, health, and work habits for computer users. The Safety & Comfort 
Guide also provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. The Safety & Comfort Guide is 
available on the Web at http://www.hp.com/ergo.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the monitor, do not touch the surface of the LCD panel. Pressure on the 
panel can cause nonuniformity of color or disorientation of the liquid crystals. If this occurs, the screen will 
not recover to its normal condition.
IMPORTANT: To prevent the screen from getting scratched, defaced, or broken and to prevent damage to 
the control buttons, position the monitor facedown on a at surface covered with protective sheet foam or a 
nonabrasive cloth.
