Energy-saving Modes
When this product is operated, it complies with relevant power-saving measures stipulated by the
Energy Star and VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standards. When the monitor is left
unused, it can also automatically elimi nate unnecessary power consumptio n. If the user intends to use this
feature, the monitor must be connected to a computer with a power management system that complies with
VESA standards. There are three energy-saving modes that users may choose, as listed below (at this time,
the computer must also be configured for these modes to take effect):
z Waiting Mode
The monitor enters the Waiting mode after the line signal is cut off. At this time, power
consumption is less t han 1W, the screen will turn dark, and the power indicator turns orange. If
there is any input from the keyboard or mouse, the monitor will re-enter the working mode
immediately.
z Pause Mode
The monitor enters the Pause mode after the field signal is cut off. At this time, power consumption
is less than 1W, the screen will turn dark, and the power indicator turns orange. If there is any input
from the keyboard or mouse, the monitor will re-enter the working mode immediately.
z Close Mode
The monitor enters the Close mode after both the line signal and
power consumption is less than 1W, the screen will turn dark, and the power indicator is off. In case
there is any input from the keyboard or mouse, the monitor will re-enter the working mode
immediately.
z The user can view the status of the power-saving modes through the LED on front pa nel.

Troubleshooting
No power
• Make sure power button (or switch) is ON.
• Make sure A/C power cord is securely connected to the LCD display.
• Plug another electrical device (like a radio) into the power outlet to verify that the outlet is
supplying proper voltage.
Power is ON but no screen image
• Make sure the video cable supplied with the LCD display is tightly secured to the video
output port on the back of the computer. If the other end of the video cable is not attached
permanently to the LCD display, tightly secure it to the LCD display.
• Adjust brightness and contrast.
• If you are using an Macintosh older than G3, you need a Macintosh adapter.
Wrong or abnormal colors
• If any colors (red, green, or blue) are missing, check the video cable to make sure it is
securely connected. Loose or broken pins in the cable connector could cause an improper
connection.
• Connect the LCD display to another computer.
• If you have an older graphics card, contact ViewSonic® for a non-DDC adapter.
Control buttons do not work
• Press only one button at a time.
