Maintaining

Caution

Do not use any type of abrasive pad or glass cleaner. You will permanently scratch the screen.

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:

VESA State

LED Indicator

Power

 

 

Consumption

 

 

 

On

Blue

<20 W

 

 

 

Active Off

Orange

<1 W

 

 

 

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.

To keep the monitor in optimal working order:

■Do not block the ventilation holes.

■Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.

■Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.

■Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.

■To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet, screen, and controls.

■Storage specifications in this manual reflect design limitations, not recommended storage and humidity. We recommend that for extended periods of time (such as in the daily use environment), you store this monitor between 32~95°F (0-35°C) and humidity less than 70%.

■Make sure that the monitor is turned off before attaching the power and video cords.
