on PC, OS or peripheral devices to be
used.
For USB compatibility of peripheral
devices, contact their manufactures.
• If the monitor is in the power saving
mode, or if the monitor is connected
to the power outlet with the monitor
turned off, all the devices connected
to the USB ports (upstream and
