Power Management Function
The power management function is an energy saving function that automatically reduces the power consumption of the display when the keyboard or the mouse have not been used for a fixed period. The power management function of the display becomes operational when the monitor is used with a personal computer based on the VESA DPMS and DVI DMPM system.
When preparing to display a personal computer screen, check that the personal computer is properly connected to this unit and that the personal computer power is on.
When the personal computer power is off, the power management function will be activated and this unit will be set to the off mode.
For information about the power management setting method, see the operating system (OS) manual of the personal computer you are using. To see the video when the power management function is operating, setting the input selection to video will switch the function off.
Power Management Modes
There are three modes in the power management function.
*Standby mode
The standby mode is set when the horizontal sync signal from the personal computer is not input. The image will be displayed immediately upon the input of the horizontal sync signal.
*Suspend mode
The suspend mode is set when the vertical sync signal from the personal computer is not input. The image will be displayed about 4 seconds after the input of the vertical sync signal.
*Off mode
This unit is set to the off mode when the horizontal/vertical sync signals from the personal computer are not input. The image will be displayed about 4 seconds after the input of the horizontal/vertical sync signal.
This is the only power management mode using RGB3 input. When there is no TMDS link, the off mode is set. (This power state is equivalent to the DPMS “off” state.) Displayed approximately 4 seconds after the TMDS link is restored.
The color in which the STANDBY/POWER lamp lights indicates the mode (listed below) in which the unit is set.
