Power Management Signalling (DPMS) method, which is endorsed by
the EPA, is the power-down process a system should use to
communicate to the monitor to save power. Power-down functions can
be utilised only with an Energy Star system or video card which adheres
to the VESA DPMS standard. By using the monitor’s horizontal and
vertical SYNC signals, the monitor can be prompted into the different
IPM modes. The following is the description of the LED indicator for
the IPM power-saving modes:
Mode LED Indicator Power Saving
On Green None
Stand By Green Minimum (Quickest Recovery)
Suspend Yellow Moderate (< 15 Watts, Moderate
Recovery)
Off (IPM Mode) Orange Maximum (< 8 Watts (A500)/
< 5 Watts (A700), Slow Recovery)
Off (Power
Switch, Off) No Light No Power Used (Fully Off)
Reduced Emissions The A500/A700 monitor incorporates Reduced Magnetic Field technology
designed to reduce magnetic and alternating electric field emissions and static
electricity. NEC’s monitors follow the strictest magnetic field, alternating
electric field, and electrostatic recommendations of the Swedish Board for
Technical Accreditation, or SWEDAC (previously known as MPR, National
Board for Measurement and Testing). The JC-1736VMB-1/JC-1736VMR
follow the recommendations of the TCO which specify maximum
recommended values of electric and magnetic field.
