Compaq 745A manual Energy Saver Modes, Power Management States

ENERGY SAVER MODES

Your monitor has been designed to meet strict EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Energy Star requirements for reduced power consumption. Using a combination of hardware and software functions, this energy-saving feature allows the computer to control your monitor’s power consumption and reduce your monitor’s power state when not in use.

NOTE: Power consumption does not include speaker power.

IMPORTANT: Your monitor’s energy saver feature works only when your monitor is connected to a computer that also has energy saver features. To extend the life of the lamp in your LCD screen and maximum brightness over the lamp’s lifetime, use Sleep to conserve your monitor when away from your system for a period of time. To prevent damage to the LCD screen, use a screen saver.

The following table describes your monitor energy saver levels in each of the two power states.
