Notes on power management

If your PC 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.

Stage	ON	Standby mode	Suspend mode	OFF mode
Power indicator	glows green	glows amber	glows amber	glows amber
Function	are dark (except	glow	glow	are dark
indicators	in setting mode)	consecutively	consecutively
		(running light)	(running light)
Function	Monitor operating	Monitor	Monitor	Monitor
	normally	is dark	is dark	is dark
Power	Normal	Reduced	Reduced	Reduced
consumption	< 65 W	to < 10 W	to < 10 W	to < 5 W

If your PC detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce the power consumption.

If there is still no input, power consumption is further reduced (OFF mode). Once an input is made at the PC 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 PC. For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating Manual or Technical Manual of your PC.

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 PC'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.
