Turning on the monitor
1. Press the Power button on the computer to turn it on.
2. Press the Power button on the bottom of the monitor to turn it on.
When the monitor is powered on, a Monitor Status message is displayed for five seconds. The
message shows which input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source
setting (On or Off; 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
screen.
CAUTION: Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that display the same static image on
the screen for 12 or more consecutive hours of nonuse. To avoid burn-in image damage on the
monitor screen, you should always activate a screen saver application or turn off the monitor
when it is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Image retention is a condition that may occur
on all LCD screens. A burned-in image is not covered under the HP warranty.
NOTE: If pressing the Power button has no effect, the Power Button Lockout feature may be
enabled. To disable this feature, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.
NOTE: You can disable the power light in the OSD menu. Press the Menu button on the bottom
of the monitor, and then select Power Control > Power LED > Off.
Installing a security cable
You can secure the monitor to a fixed object with an optional cable lock available from HP.
