ENERGY STAR

As an ENERGY STAR

®

Partner, Gateway has determined that this product meets

the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

This monitor complies with the EPA’s International ENERGY STAR Program,
which is a program designed to encourage manufacturers of computer
equipment to build circuitry into their products to reduce energy consumption
during time of non-use.

Energy declaration

When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power
Management Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, the monitor can conserve significant
energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When your
computer goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor will then enter the
Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still show
orange.

Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:

To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press
any keyboard key.

Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the
period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states.

Maintenance

To keep the monitor in optimal working order:

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.

Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.

Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.

Caution

Do not use any type of abrasive pad or

glass cleaner. You will permanently

scratch the screen.

To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only.
Wipe the cabinet, screen, and controls.
