hp pavilion f50/f70 LCD Monitor Setting Up the Monitor

NOTE: For the best performance and sound range of the f70 monitor, use the keyboard for the primary volume control and use the audio base as a secondary volume control.

8Turn on the main power source (for example, a surge protector), and then turn on the power switch for both the computer and the monitor.

NOTE: The audio base is always on when the monitor is connected to a power source, even when the computer and the LCD panel are turned off. To see if the monitor is receiving power, check the power status indicator (LED) on the side of the audio base and check the light indicator on the front of the LCD panel.

To disconnect the cables to the f70 monitor:

1Turn off the power switch for the monitor and the computer, and then turn off the main power source.

2Disconnect the power cord from the main power source and the DC adapter cable.

3Disconnect the DC adapter cable from the connector at the rear of the monitor base.

4Disconnect the audio cable from the computer connectors.

5Unscrew the thumbscrews on the video cable(s) and disconnect the video cable(s).

Connecting the speakers to the f70 monitor

The f70 monitor comes with two built-in stereo speakers in the audio base. If you bought the monitor with an HP Pavilion home PC, you will have two sets of speakers: an external set shipped with the computer, and a built-in set that is part of the monitor.

The external speakers of the computer connect to a Speaker Out connector identified on the set up poster for the computer. These speakers will provide the best sound for most HP Pavilions.

If you want to use the built-in monitor speakers, you must connect them to a Line Out or an Audio Out connector on the back of the computer. Use the audio cable provided for connecting the built-in monitor speakers and the microphone to the computer; see step 3 in “Connecting the cables to the f70 monitor” on page 14.
