totally independent of the Net mode interface and settings.
You can set up the monitor for both Net mode and PC mode and switch between the two modes by pressing the Mode button on the front of the monitor.
To set up the monitor for Net mode, refer to set up the monitor for PC mode, refer to

2 Setting Up the Monitor

You can install the monitor on a desktop or mount it on a mounting fixture such as a wall mount or swing arm. Be sure to place the monitor in a convenient, well- ventilated location. Connect the monitor cables after you have installed the monitor.
To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor and all attached devices, then follow the instructions below for your configuration.

Preparing the Monitor for Desktop Use

To assemble the monitor for desktop use:
1. Set the monitor screen face down on a flat, soft, protected table or desk surface with the support
column overhanging the edge.
2. Align the center column with the base and push the center column onto the base (1). Then align
the monitor support column with the center column and push the monitor all the way onto the center column (2) until it snaps securely in place.

Recognizing Preset Display Resolutions

The display resolutions listed below are the most commonly used modes and are set as factory defaults. This monitor automatically recognizes these preset modes and they will appear properly sized and centered on the screen.
NOTE: The preset modes can only be adjusted if the monitor is in PC mode. In Net mode, the
preset is locked at 1366 x 768 at 60Hz and cannot be adjusted.

Entering User Modes

The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset if:
You are not using a standard graphics adapter.
You are not using a preset mode.
It this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen by using the on-screen display. Your changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the factory preset modes, there are at least 10 user modes that can be entered and stored.

Energy Saver Feature

The monitors support a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the power light is turned amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor will utilize less than one watt of power. There is a brief warm up period before the monitor will return to its normal operating mode.
Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called power management features).
NOTE: The above power saver feature only works when connected to computers that have energy
saver features.
By selecting the settings in the monitor's Energy Saver utility, you can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's Energy Saver utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.

ENERGY STAR® Qualification

HP computers marked with the ENERGY STAR® Logo are compliant with the applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR specifications for computers. The EPA ENERGY STAR Logo does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Hewlett-Packard Company has determined the products marked with the ENERGY STAR Logo are ENERGY STAR qualified as per the applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. The following logo will appear on all ENERGY STAR qualified computers:
The ENERGY STAR Computers Program was created by the EPA to promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories.
The Power Management feature allows the computer to enter into a low-power or “sleep” mode after a period of user inactivity. To take advantage of this energy savings:
The Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer when the user
presses the power button.
The Power Management feature has been preset to enter into “sleep” mode after 10 minutes of
user inactivity.
This product can be woken from “sleep” mode through user interaction with the computer’s input devices (mouse, keyboard).
ENWW Energy Saver Feature 29
More information on the energy and financial savings potential of the Power Management Feature can be found at the EPA’s ENERGY STAR Power Management website:
powermanagement.
More information on the ENERGY STAR program and its environmental benefits are available by visiting the EPA’s ENERGY STAR website address:
CAUTION: Using the Energy Save Monitor feature with non–ENERGY STAR compliant monitors
may cause video distortion when the Energy Save timeout occurs.
