4 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

Important Safety Information

A power cord is included with the all-in-one. If another cord is used, use only a power source and connection appropriate for this all-in-one. For information on the correct power cord set to use with the all-in-one, refer to the Power Cord Set Requirements on page 31.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

•Do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

•Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

•Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.

For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety and Comfort Guide. It describes proper workstation, setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users, and provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is located on the Web at http://www.hp.com/ ergo and/or on the documentation CD, if one is included with the all-in-one.

CAUTION: For the protection of the all-in-one, connect all power cords for the all-in-one and its peripheral devices to some form of surge protection device such as a power strip or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can replace the equipment, if surge protection fails.

Use the appropriate and correctly sized furniture designed to properly support your HP all-in-one.

WARNING! All-in-ones that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause personal injury.

Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the all-in-one so that they can not be pulled, grabbed, or tripped over.

Maintenance guidelines

To enhance the performance and extend the life of the all-in-one:

●Do not open the all-in-one cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If the all-in-one 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 all-in-one, as indicated on the label/ back plate of the all-in-one.

●Be sure 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 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.
