If your PC detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce the
power consumption (energy-saving mode). The power indicator of the monitor changes colour to
indicate the status change.
Once an input is made at the PC the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.
For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating Manual or
Technical Manual of your PC.
i
When the monitor is switched to the energy-saving 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 completely switch off the power consumption, switch off the system unit or pull the
plug of the monitor power cable out of the monitor socket of the system unit.
