Energy saver feature

The monitor supports a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned o, and the power light turns amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor will utilize <0.5 watts of power. There is a brief warm-up period before the monitor will return to its normal operating state.
Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting the energy saver mode (sometimes called power management feature).
NOTE: The above power saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to a computer that has
energy saver features.
By selecting the settings in the monitor's Sleep Timer utility, you can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's Sleep Timer utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
