Care and Cleaning

Do not place anything on top of the monitor. Doing so may block the monitor vents and cause damage to the monitor due to overheating.

Do not let liquid get on or into the monitor.

To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the picture tube (such as burned phosphor due to leaving the same image on the screen for a long time), it is recommended that you:

Use the monitor power management system (on HP PCs) or a screen saver program.

Avoid setting contrast and brightness to their maximum levels for prolonged periods.

If you do not have a power management system or a screen saver program, switch the monitor off or reduce the brightness and contrast to minimum levels when the monitor is not in use.

Your monitor has an anti-glare, anti-static screen coating. To prevent damage to the monitor screen’s coating, use a regular household glass cleaner when cleaning the screen. To clean the screen:

1Switch the monitor off and remove the power plug (pull the plug, not the cable).

2Wet a soft cotton cloth with the cleaning solution and gently wipe the screen. Do not spray cleaner onto the screen because the cleaner may drip inside the monitor.

3Dry with a clean, soft cotton cloth.Do not use cleaning solutions containing fluoride, acids, or alkalis.
