Colour monitor S7
10 - English A26361-K877-Z100-4-5E19
If your computer detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce
the power consumption (energy-saving mode). The power indicator of the monitor changes colour to
indicate the status change.
Once an input is made at the computer the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.
For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating Manual or
Technical Manual of the computer.
i
When the monitor is switched to the energy-saving mode by the power management
system a power consumption of up to 4,5 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing
the screen contents.
To completely switch off the power consumption, you have to disconnect completely the
monitor from the mains supply by removing the power connector.
Changing the monitor settings
When putting the monitor into operation for the first time, the screen display should be optimally
adapted to the screen controller used and adjusted in accordance with your needs.
