• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual im age may
appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen
returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating
level.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image
may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually
disappear.

Technical Features
Power saving function (user sensor/power saving mode)
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a computer
or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically enter the power
saving mode. It automatically enters the low power consumption mode when the user sensor detects the absence of a user.

1 Low power consumption mode (user sensor)
When the user sensor in the monitor detects the absence of a user,
the monitor enters low power consumption mode after about 20
seconds. In low power consumption mode, the monitor is in a
power saving state and shuts off power to all circuitry (except for
that of the sensors) regardless of the setting of the computer.
The monitor returns to normal oper ation mode when the pre sence
of a user is detected by the user sensor.
When the monitor enters the power saving mode (as set according
to the computer’s settings), the power saving mode takes
precedence over the low power consumption mode. In this case,
the monitor stays in the power saving mode regardle ss of the
presence or absence of a user.
To return the monitor to normal operation mode, reset the
computer’s power saving mode.
Note
The user sensor detects the presence/absence of a user up to a distance of
approximately 60 cm from the screen surface. However, this distance may
vary depending on the user’s clothes or the brightness of the surrounding
area. If user dete c tion fails due to the am bient conditio ns of the
surrounding area, set the user sensor to OFF. If your monitor does not
automatically return from low power consumption mode due to the failure
of the user sensor to de tect the presence of a user, press the 1 (power)
switch twice to turn the monitor off and then on.
2 Power saving mode
DPMS defines three power saving states according to the state of
the sync signals supplied from the computer. This monitor’s
power consumption is input at approximately 3 W in all of these
states if the power saving function is set to ON.
When your comput er enters in the power saving mode, the input
signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen.
After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.

The power saving function may not work normally if sync signals other
than those listed above are supplied. In such a case, set the power saving
function to OFF.

Automatic brightness adjustment function (light sensor)
This monitor is provided with a feature to automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the brightness of the surroundings. The
brightness of the backlig ht is se t to t he m o st a pp rop riate le v el b y sett ing th e lig ht sensor to ON. The defa ult se ttin g of the brightness of the
backlight is set to its maximum. When the light senso r setting is set to ON, the monitor adjusts the brightn ess of the backlight linearly from
its lower- to upper-limit values. When the user adjusts the backlight, the backlight brightness is automatically adjusted between the user
adjustment value and the upper- and lower-limit values.

Automatic picture quality adjustment function
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center
of the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset
modes.)
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset
modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this
monitor automatically adjusts the picture position, phase, and
pitch, and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for
any timing within the monitor ’s frequency range (horizon tal: 30 –
61 kHz, vertical: 48 – 85 Hz).
Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals
that do not match one of the factory preset modes, t he monitor
may take a longer time than normal for displaying the picture on
the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in
memory so that next time, the monitor will function in the same
way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of
the factory preset modes.
In all modes as above, if the picture is adjusted, the adjustme nt
data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever
the same input signal is received.
Note
While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only
the 1 (power) switch, and INPUT button will operate.
