Energy declaration
When connected to a computer that supports the Display Power Management
Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, this 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 (different from total shut down). 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 your 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.
