Power Saving

Function

This monitor is capable of 3 states of reduced power consumption.

By sensing the absence of one or both sync signals coming from the host computer, it will reduce power consumption as follows.

		Power	Required	POWER	u (power)
Mode	State		resumption	SAVING
		consumption			indicator
			time	indicator
1	Normal	≤ 140 W	—	off	green on
	operation
	Standby
2	(1st step	≤ 100 W	approx.	orange on	green on
	of power		3 sec.
	saving)
	Suspend		approx.
3	(2nd step	≤ 15 W		orange on	green on
	of power		3 sec.
	saving)
	Active-off
4	(3rd step	≤ 5 W	approx.	orange on	off
	of power		10 sec.
	saving)
5	Power-off	0 W	—	off	off

Power Saving Operation

The H-sync is not present.

.

The unit goes into standby state.

The V-sync is not present.

.

The unit goes into suspend state.

Both the H-sync and V-sync are not present.

.

The unit goes into active-off state.

The monitor requires a videocard or screen saver software which switches off one or both sync signals to activate the power saving function.

Caution: The Power Saving function will automatically put the monitor into the Active-off state if the power switch is turned on without any video signal input. Once the horizontal and vertical syncs are sensed, the monitor will automatically return to its Normal operation state.

Plug and Play

This monitor complies with the DDCTM1, DDC2B and DDC2AB which are the Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of VESA.

When a DDC1 host system is connected, the monitor synchronizes with the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA standards and outputs the EDID (Extended Display Identification) to the data line.

When a DDC2B or DDC2AB host system is connected, the monitor automatically switches to each communication.

DDCTM is a trademark of Video Electronics Standard Association.

Use of the Tilt-Swivel

With the tilt-swivel, this unit can be adjusted to be viewed at your desired angle within 90° horizontally and 20° vertically.

To turn the unit vertically and horizontally, hold it at its bottom with both hands as illustrated below.

Damper Wire

Using a white background, very thin horizontal stripes on the screen are visible as shown below. These stripes are damper wires. These wires are attached to the aperture grille inside the Trinitron tube and are there to damp vibrations of the aperture grille in order to prevent them from influencing to the picture quality.
