Colour monitor 43B1-M

Switching the monitor on/off

The ON/OFF switch (6) is used for switching the monitor on and off.

The power indicator (5) glows green when the monitor and computer are switched on. The power indicator glows amber when the monitor does not receive a video signal or is in the energy-saving mode. The power indicator goes off when the monitor is switched off.

When you switch the computer system on, you must proceed in the following order:

ÊFirst switch the LCD monitor on with the ON/OFF switch (6).

ÊThen switch on the computer.

If your computer has a power management function (energy-saving mode), you should

read the "Notes on power management" of the monitor in this chapter.

Notes on power management

If your computer is equipped with power management, the monitor can support this function fully. Here the monitor does not distinguish between the individual energy-saving modes of the computer (standby mode, suspend mode and OFF mode), as it is capable of immediately switching into the mode with the highest energy-saving effect.

If your computer detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce the power consumption (energy-saving mode). The power indicator of the monitor changes colour to indicate the status change.

Once an input is made at the computer the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.

For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating Manual or Technical Manual of the computer.

When the monitor is switched to the energy-saving mode by the power management

i system a power consumption of up to 3 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing the screen contents.

To completely switch off the power consumption, switch off the computer or pull the plug of the monitor power cable out of the monitor socket of the computer or of the mains outlet.
