4.PowerSensor™
How does it work?
PowerSensor works on principle of transmission and reception of harmless “infrared” signals in order to detect user- presence.
When the user is in front of the monitor the monitor operates normally, at the predetermined settings that the user has set- i.e. Brightness, contrast, color, etc
Assuming that the monitor was set to 100% of brightness for example, when the user leaves his seat and is no longer in front of the monitor, the monitor automatically reduces the power consumption down to 80%.

Default settings
At its default setting, (Setting 3), PowerSensor is designed to detect the presence of the user located between 30 and 100 cm (12 and 40 LQFKHV IURPWKHGLVSOD\DQGZLWKLQÀYHGHJUHHV left or right of the monitor.
Custom settings
If you prefer to be in a position outside the perimeters listed above, choose a higher

If you choose to position yourself more than 100 cm or 40 inches from the monitor use the maximum detection signal for distances up to 120 cm or 47 inches. (Setting 4)
Since some dark colored clothing tends to absorb infrared signals even when the user
is within 100 cm or 40 inches of the display, step up signal strength when wearing black or other dark clothes.
You can return to the default mode at any time (Setting 3).

How to adjust settings
If PowerSensor is not operating correctly inside or outside the default range, here’s how to
Press the PowerSensor hot key
You will find the default position ‘3’ on the adjustment bar.
Adjust the PowerSensor detection adjustment to Setting 4 and press OK.
Test the new setup to see if PowerSensor properly detects you in your current position.
PowerSensor function is designed to work in Landscape mode (horizontal position) only. After PowerSensor turn on it, it will automatically turn Off if the monitor is used in Portrait mode (90 degree/vertical position); it will automatically turn ON if monitor is returned to its default Landscape position.
Note
A manually selected PowerSensor mode will remain operational unless and until it is readjusted or the default mode is recalled. If \RXÀQGWKDWWKH3RZHU6HQVRULVH[FHVVLYHO\ sensitive to nearby motion for some reason, please adjust to a lower signal strength.
