Minimizing Power Consumption

Many PCs support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power management features reduce the display’s power consumption after a period of keyboard inactivity.

When the display 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 PC documentation for information about setting the power-saving modes.

The display accepts the signals for the three standard power-saving modes – Standby, Suspend, and Sleep. For any of these conditions, the display will go into Sleep mode.

Caring for and Cleaning the Display

To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the LCD panel, we recommend that you:

ÖUse the display power management system (if available on your PC).

ÖIf you don’t use a power management system, turn off the display when you won’t be using it for an extended period.

ÖDon’t press, rub, or poke the display with your finger or other object.

ÖHandle your display with care.

Your LCD module is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning.
