Power Management Modes
If you have VESA's DPM™ 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
Page 4
table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

Caring for Your Monitor
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.
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.

Troubleshooting Your MonitorGeneral ProblemsProduct Specific ProblemsUSB ProblemsTroubleshooting Your Soundbar
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions.
Troubleshooting Your Monitor
Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your
monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by
performing the following steps:
1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. To ensure proper Self-Test operation, remove both Digital
(white connector) and the Analog(blue connector) cables from the back of computer.
3. Turn on the monitor.
The floating 'Dell - Self-Test Feature Check' dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black
background) if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly. While in self-test
mode, the power LED remains green. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs
shown below will continuously scroll through the screen.
or
This box also appears during normal system operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or
damaged.
4. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer
system; your monitor is functioning properly.

Dell™ 1707FP AIO Color Monitor For Dell™ OptiPlex™ USFF Computer
CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result
in exposure to shock, electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure that the voltage selection switch on the power supply for the computer is set to
match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:
115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South
Korea (also 220 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz)), and Taiwan.
230 volts (V)/50 hertz (Hz) in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
NOTE: This monitor does not need or have a voltage selection switch for setting the AC voltage input. It will automatically accept any
AC input voltage according to the ranges defined in the "Electrical Specifications" section in the User's Guide.
Do not store or use the monitor in locations that are exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold.
Avoid moving the monitor between locations with large temperature differences.
Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For example, do not place the monitor inside a car
trunk.
Do not store or use the monitor in locations exposed to high humidity or dusty environment.
Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or into the monitor.
Keep flat panel monitor in room temperature conditions. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have an adverse effect on the liquid
crystal of the display.
Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor case.
Never use your monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Ensure that nothing rests on your computer's cables and that the
cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket.
Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or
covered. Avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the
bottom of the cabinet. If you place the monitor in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation and
air flow.
Place your monitor in a location with low humidity and minimum dust. Avoid places similar to a damp basement or dusty hallway.
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, next to swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally
gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary,
being sure to unplug the monitor first.
Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit
sharply.
Locate your monitor near an easily accessible electric outlet.
If your monitor does not operate normally - in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it - unplug it
immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center.
Page 31
Do not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to an electrical shock hazard. The back cover should only be
Sales0-810-444-3355
removed by qualified service personnel.
High temperatures can cause problems. Don't use your monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves,
fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.
Unplug your monitor from the electric outlet before any service is performed.
