PowerSaver
This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves energy by
switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used for a certain amount of time.
The monitor automatically returns to normal operation when you move the computer’s mouse or press a
key on the keyboard. For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when
leaving it unattended for long periods. The PowerSaver system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant
video card installed in your computer. Use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this
feature.
Note:
This monitor is EPA ENERGY STAR
®
compliant and NUTEK compliant when used with a
computer equipped with VESA DPMS functionality.
