Power Management Feature
Many computers support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. The
power management features reduce the monitor’s power consumption after a
period of keyboard or mouse inactivity.
When your computer supplies power saving signals to the monitor, the monitor’s
power management features reduce power consumption to low levels when your
computer goes into its power-saving mode.
When the monitor is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power
indicator is amber. Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the
image in several seconds. Consult your computer documentation for information
about setting the power-saving modes.
If your computer doesn’t use industry standard power-save signaling techniques,
you can reduce power consumption by turning off the monitor when it will not be
used for an extended period of time. You can turn the monitor off even if you leave
your computer running.
