Power management
Energy declaration
When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling
(DPMS) Protocol, your monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption
during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, your 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” your monitor when it is in Standby/Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any
keyboard key.
You can change your monitor’s power management settings using the Windows Control Panel. For
more information, see your computer’s User Guide.

To keep your monitor in optimal working order:
• Do not block the ventilation holes.
• Do not expose your monitor to rain or use near water.
• Keep your monitor away from radiators or heat vents.
• Keep your monitor out of direct sunlight.
• To clean your monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet,
screen, and controls.
