If your monitor does not operate
11
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.
High temperatures can cause
12
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
13
to be left unused for an extended
period of time.

PowerSaver
This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves
energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used for a
certain amount of time. The monitor automatically returns to normal operation when you
move the computer's mouse or press a key on the keyboard. For energy conservation, turn
your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when leaving it unattended for long periods.
The PowerSaver system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your
computer. Use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.
