Dome C3 Display
Power Management
You have two ways to lower energy usage when the Dome C3 display is idle:
• Dome CXtra Backlight Saver service (preferred)
• DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling)
Activate the power saver when you anticipate periods of inactivity, such as at the
end of the work day. Once activated, Backlight Saver (or DPMS) automatically turns
the backlight off during the period of inactivity. Backlight Saver and DPMS both
extend the life of the backlight and reduce burn-in of images.
To activate DPMS, use the display with a computer that has power-saving circuitry.
Computers running the Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating system have this
feature built in.
The backlight lasts approximately 30,000 on-time hours.
Do not use both the Backlight Saver and DPMS.
