HP x2301 23-inch Diagonal Micro Thin LED Monitor - Manual (Page 9)

2 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines
Important Safety Information
For displays with glossy bezels, consider the placement of the display, because the bezel might cause
distracting reflections from surrounding light and bright surfaces.
For information on the correct power cord set to use with the monitor, see Power Cord Set Requirements
on page 25 .
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one might
accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the
electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, see the HP Safety and Comfort Guide on the HP website at
http://www.hp.com/ergo or on the documentation CD. The guide describes proper workstation, setup,
posture, and health and work habits for computer users, and provides important electrical and
mechanical safety information.
CAUTION: For the protection of the monitor, as well as the computer, connect all power cords for the
computer and its peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to some form of surge
protection device such as a power strip or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Not all power strips
provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a
power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement Policy so you can replace the
equipment, if surge protection fails.
Use the appropriate and correctly sized furniture designed to properly support your HP LCD monitor.
WARNING! LCD monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests, or carts might fall over and cause personal injury. Care must be taken to route all
cords and cables connected to the LCD monitor so that they cannot be pulled, grabbed, or tripped
over.
Safety Precautions
● Use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor, as indicated on the label of
the power adapter.
● Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current
rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the power
cord does not exceed the rating of the power cord. To determine the ampere rating (Amps or A)
for each device, see the power label.
