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.

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

power consumption. The power indicator of the monitor changes color to indicate the status change.

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.

iThe 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.

With the buttons and controls on the control panel, you can change the monitor settings. The picture

geometry, contrast and brightness are adjusted directly with the corresponding buttons or controls.

The other settings are carried out via an integrated OSD menu (On-Screen Display).

iThe OSD menu is available in nine languages. The English menu names are used in the

following description (default setting). How you set a different language for the OSD

menu is described in the section "Selecting the menu language".
