Power Management

If your computer has previously been used with a

CRT monitor and is currently configured to a display mode outside the range that the Flat Panel monitor can display, you may need to re-attach the CRT monitor temporarily until you have re- configured the computer, preferably to 1024 x 768 at 60Hz.

To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in conjunction with a computer that implements the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) Standard.

The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period. There are several states as described in the table below.

As an ENERGY STAR®Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR®guidelines for energy efficiency.

IBM recommends that you switch off your monitor at the end of each working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods during the day.
