Polk Audio MX75 manual Using the Monitor, Turning the Monitor On and Off, Degaussing the Display

Using the Monitor

This chapter contains information about using the HP Pavilion MX75 Monitor.

Turning the Monitor On and Off

Use the Power button on the front panel to turn the monitor on and off. When the monitor is on, the light near the Power button is illuminated. The light is green when the monitor and PC are active and yellow/amber when the monitor is in one of its reduced power modes.

The monitor’s power management features reduce power consumption to low levels when your PC has been inactive for a specified period of time. See “Minimising Energy Use” on page 7 for more information.

Because of the monitor’s power management features, you don’t normally need to turn off the monitor when it’s not in use. When turned off, the monitor uses the same amount of power that it uses in Sleep mode (less than 5 watts).

6 HP Pavilion MX75 Monitor Guide

If your PC doesn’t support DPMS power management, you can reduce power consumption by turning off the monitor when it won’t be used for an extended period. You can turn the monitor off even if you leave the PC running.

Warning: To completely disconnect power from the monitor, you must remove the power cord from the AC power outlet or surge protector.

Degaussing the Display

Degaussing removes magnetism that causes unwanted colour variations. Degauss the display any time you notice unusual colour variations.

Note: Do not degauss more frequently than once every 30 minutes, or the degauss will be incomplete. It is not necessary to degauss unless you have moved the monitor.
