Energy Saving Design

This program is designed to have computer equipment manufacturers build circuitry into their products to reduce power consumption when it is not in operation. When this monitor is used with a PC on which a screen blanking software complying with the VESA Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) Protocol is installed, it can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption when it is not in operation.

There are 2 signal lines, and 3 modes of operation: On Mode, Sleep Mode, and Off Mode.

On mode

| The normal operation. When the monitor is on mode, being connected to a power source, it displays an image.

Sleep Mode

| The reduced power state. returns to on mode when the user moves the mouse or presses a key on the keyboard.

Off Mode

| The lowest power consumption state. returns to on mode when the user pushes a power switch.

Note

• The energy-saving Design monitors only work while connected to computers that have energy-saving features.

Service

• Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel when :
• The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• Liquid has been spilled into the monitor.
• The monitor has been exposed to rain or water.

• The monitor has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
• The monitor exhibits a distinct change in performance.
• Snapping or popping from the monitor is continuous or frequent while the monitor is operating. It is normal for some monitors to make occasional sounds when being turned on or off, or when changing video modes.
