Turning on the monitor
IMPORTANT: Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that display the same static image on the
screen for 12 or more consecutive hours. To avoid burn-in image damage, you should always activate a screen
saver application or turn o the monitor when it will not be in use for a prolonged period of time. Image
retention is a condition that may occur on all LCD screens. Burn-in damage on the monitor is not covered
under the HP warranty.

disable this feature, press and hold the monitor power button for 10 sec.

When the monitor is rst turned on, a monitor status message displays for 5 sec. The message shows which
input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or O; default setting is On),
the current preset screen resolution, and the recommended preset screen resolution.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the display.

You can secure the monitor to a xed object with an optional security cable available from HP.
