2 Using the monitor Software and utilities The optical disc, if one is included with the monitor, contains the following files you can install on the computer. If you do not have an optical drive, you can download the files from http://www.hp.com/support.
1. Go to http://www.hp.com/support. 2. Select Find your product. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your monitor and download the software. Using the On-screen display (OSD) menu Use the On-screen display (OSD) menu to adjust the monitor screen image based on your preferences. You can access and make adjustments in the OSD menu using the buttons on the monitor's front bezel. To access the OSD menu and make adjustments, do the following: 1.
Assigning the Function buttons Pressing one of the four front bezel Function buttons activates the buttons and displays the icons above the buttons. The factory default button icons and functions are shown below. Button Function 1 Menu Opens the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu. 2 Display Information Opens the Information menu. 3 Color Control Opens the Color menu to adjust the screen color. 4 Next Active Input Switches the monitor's input source to the next active input.
Using Auto-Sleep Mode The monitor supports an OSD (On-screen display) menu option called Auto-Sleep Mode that allows you to enable or disable a reduced power state for the monitor. When Auto-Sleep Mode is enabled (enabled by default), the monitor will enter a reduced power state when the host PC signals low power mode (absence of either horizontal or vertical sync signal).
3 Support and troubleshooting Solving common problems The following table lists possible problems, the possible cause of each problem, and the recommended solutions. Problem Possible Cause Solution Screen is blank or video is flashing. Power cord is disconnected. Connect the power cord. Monitor is off. Press the front bezel power button. NOTE: If pressing the power button has no effect, press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds to disable the Power Button Lockout feature.
Using the auto-adjustment function (analog input) When you first set up the monitor, conduct a Factory Reset of the computer, or change the resolution of the monitor, the auto-adjustment feature automatically engages, and attempts to optimize your screen for you. You may also optimize the screen performance for the VGA (analog) input at any time by using the OK/Auto button on the monitor and the auto-adjustment pattern software utility on the optical disc provided (select products only).
Optimizing image performance (analog input) Two controls in the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image performance: Clock and Phase (available in the OSD menu). NOTE: The Clock and Phase controls are adjustable only when using an analog (VGA) input. These controls are not adjustable for digital inputs. The Clock must first be set correctly since the Phase settings are dependent on the main Clock setting.
2. Press the buttons on the monitor front bezel to properly adjust the position of the image in the display area of the monitor. The Horizontal Position shifts the image left or right; the Vertical Position shifts the image up and down. Button lockouts Holding down the Power button or Menu button for ten seconds will lock out the functionality of that button. You can restore the functionality by holding the button down again for ten seconds.
Locating the serial number and product number The serial number and product number are located on a label on the rear of the display head. You may need these numbers when contacting HP about the monitor model.
