Energy declaration
When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power
Management Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, the monitor can conserve significant
energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When your
computer goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor will then enter the
Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still show
orange.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:
To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press
any keyboard key.
Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the
period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states.
Maintaining
To keep the monitor in optimal working order:
■ Do not block the ventilation holes.
■ Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.
■ Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.
■ Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.
Caution
Do not use any type of abrasive pad or
glass cleaner. You will permanently
scratch the screen.
■ To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only.
Wipe the cabinet, screen, and controls.
■ Storage specifications in this manual reflect design limitations, not
recommended storage and humidity. We recommend that for extended
periods of time (such as in the daily use environment), you store this
monitor between 32~95
°F (0-35°C) and humidity less than 70%.
■ Make sure that the monitor is turned off before attaching the power and
video cords.
