Notes on power management
If your PC has a VESA DPMS (Video Electronics Standard Association, Display
Power Management Signaling) power management function (energy-saving
mode), your monitor will fully support this function. The monitor has a four-stage
power management system.

If your PC detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor
to reduce the power consumption. The power lamp of the monitor changes color to
indicate the status change.
If there is still no input, power consumption is further reduced (OFF mode).
Once an input is made at the PC the screen contents are redrawn and full power is
restored.
The length of the individual stages is determined by the power management
system of the PC. For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates
refer to the Operating Manual or Technical Manual of your PC.
i
The service life of your monitor will be extended if the OFF mode is
switched to after 30 minutes at the earliest (setting in screen saver or in
your PC's BIOS setup).
When the monitor is switched to OFF mode by the power management
system a power consumption of up to 5 W is maintained to feed the circuit
for redrawing the screen contents.
To cut off power consumption totally, press the ON/OFF switch on the
front of the monitor.
