Compaq 5000R manual Energy Saver Feature, User Modes

Operating the Monitor 3-9

User Modes

The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not present if you are not using a Compaq standard graphics adapter or if you are not using a preset mode.

If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen by using the on-screen display. User changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 12 factory preset modes, there are four user modes that can be entered and stored.

Energy Saver Feature

The energy saver feature has four different modes of operation:

■Full power

■Suspend

■Sleep

■Programmable Sleep

By selecting settings in the computer’s Energy Saver utility, you can determine the length of the inactivity period before the monitor goes into sleep or programmable sleep mode.

Table 3-5describes the monitor’s energy saver levels available during the different modes of operation.
