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 display resolution, and the recommended preset display resolution.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the display.

HP watermark and image retention policy (select products only)

The IPS monitor models are designed with In-Plane Switching (IPS) display technology, which provides ultra-
wide viewing angles and advanced image quality. IPS monitors are suitable for a wide variety of advanced
image quality applications. This panel technology, however, is not suitable for applications that exhibit static,
stationary, or fixed images for long periods of time without the use of screen savers. These types of
applications may include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and templates. Static images
may cause image retention damage that could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor’s screen.
Image retention damage on monitors that are in use 24 hours per day is not covered under the HP warranty.
To avoid image retention damage, always turn off the monitor when it is not in use, or use the power
management setting, if supported on your system, to turn off the monitor when the system is idle.

Button lockouts
Holding down the power button or Menu button for 10 seconds disables that button. You can re-enable the
button by holding the button down again for 10 seconds. The button lockout function is available only when
the monitor is on, an active signal is displayed, and the OSD menu is closed.

Using the auto-adjustment function (analog input)

The auto-adjustment feature automatically engages and attempts to optimize your screen under the
following conditions:
● Monitor setup
● Factory reset of the computer
● Changing monitor resolution
You can manually optimize the screen performance for the VGA (analog) input at any time from the Auto
Adjustment menu in the OSD. You can download the auto-adjustment pattern software utility from
http://www.hp.com/support.
Do not use this procedure if the monitor is using an input other than VGA. If the monitor is using a VGA
(analog) input, this procedure can correct the following image quality conditions:
● Fuzzy or unclear focus
● Ghosting, streaking, or shadowing effects
● Faint vertical bars
● Thin, horizontal scrolling lines
● An off-center picture
To use the auto-adjustment feature:
1. Turn the monitor on, and then wait for 20 minutes before adjusting.
2. Press the Menu button to open the OSD menu, select Image, and then select Auto-Adjustment. If the
result is not satisfactory, continue with the procedure.

Button lockouts 17
 3. Open the auto-adjustment utility. (You can download this utility from http://www.hp.com/support.) The
setup test pattern is displayed.

4. Press the esc key or any other key on the keyboard to exit the test pattern.

Optimizing image performance (analog input)

You can adjust two controls in the on-screen display to improve image performance: Clock and Phase
(available in the OSD menu). Use these controls only when the auto-adjustment function does not provide a
satisfactory image.

NOTE: The Clock and Phase controls are adjustable only when you use an analog (VGA) input. These controls
are not adjustable for digital inputs.
The Clock must first be set correctly because the Phase settings are dependent on the main Clock setting.

● Clock: Increases or decreases the value to minimize any vertical bars or stripes visible on the screen
background.
● Phase: Increases or decreases the value to minimize video flickering or blurring.

NOTE: When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using the auto-adjustment pattern
software utility. You can download this utility from http://www.hp.com/support.
When adjusting the Clock and Phase values, if the monitor images become distorted, continue adjusting the
values until the distortion disappears. To restore the factory settings, press the Menu button to open the OSD
menu, then select Management, select Factory Reset, and select Yes.

To eliminate vertical bars (Clock):

1. Press the Menu button to open the OSD menu, select Image, and then select Clock and Phase.
2. Select Clock, and then use the OSD buttons on the monitor that display up and down arrow icons to
eliminate vertical bars. Press the buttons slowly so that you do not miss the optimum adjustment point.

3. After adjusting the Clock, if flickering, blurring, or bars appear on the screen, proceed to adjust the
Phase.
To remove flickering or blurring (Phase):

4 Maintaining the monitor

Maintenance guidelines
To enhance the performance and extend the life of the monitor:
● Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those controls
that are covered in the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operating properly or has been
dropped or damaged, contact an authorized HP dealer, reseller, or service provider.
● Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the label or back
plate of the monitor.
● Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current
rating of the AC outlet and that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the cord does not
exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for
each device.
● Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug
firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.
● Turn the monitor off when it is not in use and use a screen saver program. Doing this can substantially
increase the life expectancy of the monitor.

NOTE: A burned-in image on the monitor is not covered under the HP warranty.

● Never block the slots and openings of the cabinet or push objects into them. These openings provide
ventilation.
● Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
● Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
● Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture.

Cleaning the monitor

1. Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
2. Disconnect any external devices.
3. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean antistatic cloth.
4. For more difficult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and isopropyl alcohol.

IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain petroleum-based materials such as benzene, thinner, or
any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the
monitor.
IMPORTANT: Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surface.
Never spray the cleaner directly on the screen surface. It may run behind the bezel and damage the
electronics. The cloth should be moist, but not wet. Water dripping into the ventilation openings or other
points of entry can cause damage to the monitor. Allow the monitor to air-dry before use.

Maintenance guidelines 21
 Shipping the monitor
Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You may need it later if you ship the monitor or move.

Energy saver feature

The monitor supports a reduced power state. The reduced power state is initiated if the monitor detects the
absence of either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these
signals, the monitor screen is blank, the backlight is turned off, and the power light turns amber. When the
monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor uses <0.5 W of power. There is a brief warm-up period
before the monitor returns to its normal operating state.
See the computer manual for instructions on setting the energy saver mode (sometimes called power
management feature).

NOTE: This power saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to a computer that has energy
saver features.

By selecting the settings in the monitor Sleep Timer utility, you can also program the monitor to initiate the
reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor Sleep Timer utility initiates the reduced
power state, the power light blinks amber.

 B Accessibility

HP and accessibility
Because HP works to weave diversity, inclusion, and work/life into the fabric of the company, it is reflected in
everything HP does. HP strives to create an inclusive environment focused on connecting people to the power
of technology throughout the world.

Finding the technology tools you need

Technology can unleash your human potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you create
independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology helps increase, maintain, and
improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology. For more information, see
Finding the best assistive technology on page 33.

The HP commitment
HP is committed to providing products and services that are accessible for people with disabilities. This
commitment supports the company's diversity objectives and helps ensure that the benefits of technology
are available to all.
The HP accessibility goal is to design, produce, and market products and services that can be effectively used
by everyone, including people with disabilities, either on a stand-alone basis or with appropriate assistive
devices.
To achieve that goal, this Accessibility Policy establishes seven key objectives to guide HP actions. All HP
managers and employees are expected to support these objectives and their implementation in accordance
with their roles and responsibilities:
● Raise the level of awareness of accessibility issues within HP, and provide employees with the training
they need to design, produce, market, and deliver accessible products and services.
● Develop accessibility guidelines for products and services, and hold product development groups
accountable for implementing these guidelines where competitively, technically, and economically
feasible.
● Involve people with disabilities in the development of accessibility guidelines and in the design and
testing of products and services.
● Document accessibility features, and make information about HP products and services publicly
available in an accessible form.
● Establish relationships with leading assistive technology and solution providers.
● Support internal and external research and development that improves assistive technology relevant to
HP products and services.
● Support and contribute to industry standards and guidelines for accessibility.

International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP)

IAAP is a not-for-profit association focused on advancing the accessibility profession through networking,
education, and certification. The objective is to help accessibility professionals develop and advance their
careers and to better enable organizations to integrate accessibility into their products and infrastructure.

32 Appendix B Accessibility
 As a founding member, HP joined to participate with other organizations to advance the field of accessibility.
This commitment supports HP’s accessibility goal of designing, producing, and marketing products and
services that people with disabilities can effectively use.
IAAP will make the profession strong by globally connecting individuals, students, and organizations to learn
from one another. If you are interested in learning more, go to http://www.accessibilityassociation.org to join
the online community, sign up for newsletters, and learn about membership options.

Finding the best assistive technology

Everyone, including people with disabilities or age-related limitations, should be able to communicate,
express themselves, and connect with the world using technology. HP is committed to increasing accessibility
awareness within HP and with our customers and partners. Whether it’s large fonts that are easy on the eyes,
voice recognition that lets you give your hands a rest, or any other assistive technology to help with your
specific situation—a variety of assistive technologies make HP products easier to use. How do you choose?

Assessing your needs

Technology can unleash your potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you create
independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology (AT) helps increase, maintain,
and improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology.
You can choose from many AT products. Your AT assessment should allow you to evaluate several products,
answer your questions, and facilitate your selection of the best solution for your situation. You will find that
professionals qualified to do AT assessments come from many fields, including those licensed or certified in
physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language pathology, and other areas of expertise. Others,
while not certified or licensed, can also provide evaluation information. You will want to ask about the
individual's experience, expertise, and fees to determine if they are appropriate for your needs.

Standards and legislation

Standards
Section 508 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards was created by the US Access Board to
address access to information and communication technology (ICT) for people with physical, sensory, or
cognitive disabilities. The standards contain technical criteria specific to various types of technologies, as well
as performance-based requirements which focus on functional capabilities of covered products. Specific
criteria cover software applications and operating systems, web-based information and applications,
computers, telecommunications products, video and multimedia, and self-contained closed products.

Mandate 376 – EN 301 549

The EN 301 549 standard was created by the European Union within Mandate 376 as the basis for an online
toolkit for public procurement of ICT products. The standard specifies the functional accessibility
requirements applicable to ICT products and services, together with a description of the test procedures and
evaluation methodology for each accessibility requirement.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) helps web
designers and developers create sites that better meet the needs of people with disabilities or age-related
limitations. WCAG advances accessibility across the full range of web content (text, images, audio, and video)
and web applications. WCAG can be precisely tested, is easy to understand and use, and allows web
developers flexibility for innovation. WCAG 2.0 has also been approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2012.
WCAG specifically addresses barriers to accessing the web experienced by people with visual, auditory,
physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities, and by older web users with accessibility needs. WCAG 2.0
provides characteristics of accessible content:
● Perceivable (for instance, by addressing text alternatives for images, captions for audio, adaptability of
presentation, and color contrast)
● Operable (by addressing keyboard access, color contrast, timing of input, seizure avoidance, and
navigability)
● Understandable (by addressing readability, predictability, and input assistance)
● Robust (for instance, by addressing compatibility with assistive technologies)
