Energy declaration

When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor will then enter the Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still show orange.

Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:

To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any keyboard key.

Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states.
