Power Management Modes
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:

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
CAUTION:Read and follow the Safety Information 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.

Using Your Adjustable Monitor Stand
Dell™ 2405FPW Flat Panel Monitor
Attaching the StandOrganizing Your CablesUsing the Tilt, Swivel, Vertical ExtensionRemoving the Stand
Attaching the Stand
1. Place the stand on a flat surface.
2. Fit the groove on the back of the monitor onto the three teeth of upper stand.
3. Lower the monitor so that the monitor mounting area snaps on/locks to stand.
Organizing Your Cables
After attaching all necessary cables to your monitor and computer, (See Connecting Your Monitor for cable
attachment,) use the cable holder to neatly organize all cables as shown above.
Using the Tilt, Swivel and Vertical Extension
Tilt/Swivel
With the built-in pedestal, you can tilt and/or swivel the monitor for the most comfortable viewing angle.
NOTE: Stand is detached and extended when the monitor is shipped from the factory.
Vertical Extension
Stand extends vertically up to 100mm via the stand lock release button.
NOTE: If locked in the down position, press the stand lock release button on the bottom rear of stand. Lift the front
panel up and extend the stand to the desired height.
NOTICE: Before relocating/moving the monitor to a different location, make sure that the stand is LOCKED DOWN.
To lock it down, lower the height of the panel until it clicks and is locked into place.
Removing the Stand
After placing the monitor panel on a soft cloth or cushion, press and hold the LCD removal button, and then remove the
stand.
NOTE: To prevent scratches on the LCD screen while removing the stand, ensure that the monitor is placed on a
clean surface.

Connecting Your Monitor
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Information.
1 Power cord connector
2 DC power connector for Dell™ Sound Bar
3 S-Video connector (cable not included)
4 Composite video connector (cable not included)
5 Component video (Y Pb Pr) connectors (cable not included)
6 DVI connector
7 VGA connector
8 USB upstream port
9 USB downstream ports
NOTE: If your computer does not support the DVI connector, you can leave the cable unconnected or remove it.
NOTE: For USB peripherals already connected to your computer, changing the USB connection to your monitor is not necessary.
Using the Front Panel Buttons
Use the control buttons on the front of the monitor to adjust the characteristics of the image being displayed. As you use these buttons to adjust the controls, an OSD shows their numeric values as they change.
Turn off your computer and disconnect the power cable.
Connect either the white (digital DVI-D) or the blue (analog D-sub) display connector cable to the corresponding video port on the back of your computer. Do not use both cables on the same computer. The
only case in which both cables can be used is if they are connected to two different computers with appropriate video systems. (Graphics are for illustration only. System appearance may vary).
Connect the upstream USB port (cable supplied) to an appropriate USB port on your computer .
Connect USB peripherals to the downstream USB ports (rear or side) on the monitor. (See rear or bottom view for details.)
Connect the DC power cable for your monitor to the power port on the back of the monitor.
Plug the power cables for your computer and monitor into a nearby outlet.
Turn on the monitor and computer.
If your monitor displays an image, installation is complete. If it does not display an image, see
Use the cable holder on the monitor stand to neatly organize the cables.
