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 Hewlett-Packard 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.

covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
