If you have VESA's DPMS compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. This is referred to as 'Power Save Mode'*. If input from keyboard, mouse or other input devices is detected by the computer, the monitor will automatically "wake up". The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

VESA Modes	Horizontal Sync	Vertical Sync	Video	Power Indicator	Power Consumption
Normal operation	Active	Active	Active	Green	40.6 W (maximum)* 38.1 W (normal)**
Active-off mode	Inactive	Inactive	Blanked	Amber	Less than 2 W
Switch off	-	-	-	Off	Less than 1 W

* With Audio
** Without Audio

NOTE: The OSD will only function in the 'normal operation' mode. Otherwise one of the following messages will appear depending upon the selected input.

In Power Save Mode

Press computer power button

or any key on keyboard or move mouse

Activate the computer and wake up the monitor to gain access to the OSD.

Plug and Play Capability

You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play-compatible system. The monitor automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the system can configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. If desired, the user can select different settings, but in most cases monitor installation is automatic.

Caring for Your Monitor

To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and power off your monitor when not in use.

	CAUTION: Read and follow the Safety Instructions before cleaning the monitor.
	CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor from the electrical outlet.

To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.
Use a lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the plastics. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the plastics.
If you notice a white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth. This white powder occurs during the shipping of the monitor.
Handle your monitor with care as darker-colored plastics may scratch and show white scuff marks more than lighter-colored monitor.
