Stand-by	Attached	No		Yes	Blank	Orange		≤ 15	W
Suspend	Attached	Yes		No	Blank	Orange		≤ 15 W
Off	Attached	No		No	Blank	Orange		≤ 8	W

FEATURES

Green monitor

∙The monitor has a power saving function that conforms to the VESA DPMS standard. This feature will only work if your PC is a green PC. This feature is similar to a screen saver, except that your monitor will turn it off instead of activating the screen saver.

To activate this feature in Windows ® 98 :

In Windows ® 98, this feature can be activated and customized under the screen saver setting of the display properties.

1.Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.

2.Click on the tab that says Screen Saver. If your system supports Green PC, there will be a section entitled “Energy Saving Features of Monitor.” If there isn’t a section like that, then your PC does not support Green Monitor. The monitor will behave just like a normal monitor, so you will have to turn it off manually to save energy.

3.In the “Energy Saving Features of Monitor” sections are two boxes, Standby and Shut off. To activate either one, click the box next to each one.

4.You can specify the amount of inactive time before your monitor enters standby mode or shuts off.

PLUG AND PLAY

Plug & Play DDC1/2B Feature

This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC1/2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its display capabilities. The communication channel is defined in two levels, DDC1 and DDC2B.

The DDC1 is a unidirectional data channel from the display to the host that continuously transmits EDID information. The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the DDC2B channel.

THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.

This monitor meets the Power Management standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and/or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Swedish Confederation Employees ( NUTEK ). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power consumption when there is no video input signal present. When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a timeout period, will automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.
