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. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

Power Management Definition
VESA's Mode	Video	H-sync	V-sync	Power Used	Power Saving (%)	LED color
ON	Active	Yes	Yes	maximum 90W typical 70W	0 %	Green
Active-OFF*	Blanked	No	No	<4W	90%	Amber
Switch-OFF				<1W		Off

This monitor is ENERGY STAR^®-compliant as well as TCO '99 / TCO '03 power management compatible.

* Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the main cable from the monitor.

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, you can select different settings, but in most cases monitor installation is automatic.

Cleaning Your Monitor

	CAUTION: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor.
	CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable 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.
