Notes on power management
If your computer has a VESA DPMS (Video Electronics Standard Association, Display Power
Management Signaling) power management function (energy-saving mode), your monitor will fully
support this function. The monitor has a four-stage power management system.

If your computer detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce
the power consumption. The power indicator of the monitor flashes to indicate the status change.
If there is still no input, power consumption is further reduced (OFF mode).
Once an input is made at the computer the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.
The length of the individual stages is determined by the power management system of the
computer. For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating
Manual or Technical Manual of your computer.
i
The service life of your monitor will be extended if the OFF mode is switched to after
30 minutes at the earliest (setting in screen saver or in your computer's BIOS setup).
When the monitor is switched to OFF mode by the power management system a power
consumption of up to 5 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing the screen
contents.
To cut off power consumption totally, press the ON/OFF switch on the front of the monitor.
Connecting the monitor
Information on the computer connections is contained in the operating manual for your computer.

If you are assembling monitors beside each other, there must be a minimum distance of
30 cm between monitors of the same constructional type, to avoid image distortion. With
different monitors, the distance must be increased, if necessary.
Ê Be sure that the monitor and the computer are switched off.
