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

NOTE: USB 2.0 capability requires 2.0-capable computer.
NOTE: The USB interface of the monitor works ONLY when monitor is powered ON (or in Power Save Mode). Switching your monitor OFF and then ON would re-
enumerate its USB interface; attached peripherals may take a few seconds to resume normal functionality.
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. Most monitor installations are automatic; you can
select different settings, if desired.

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, slightly 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 slightly-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 yourmonitor when not in use.

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 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 on 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.

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.
Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your computer and working environment from potential damage.
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
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.
Do not attempt to remove the back cover, as you will be exposed to an electrical shock hazard. The back cover should only be 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.
Projectors, LCD displays, and some multifunction printers may use lamp(s) that contain a small amount of Mercury for energy-efficient lighting purposes. Mercury lamps in
these products are labeled accordingly. Please manage the lamp according to local, state, or federal laws. For more information, contact the Electronic Industries Alliance at
www.eiae.org
. For lamp specific disposal information check www.lamprecycle.org.
