Operating the Monitor
Monitor messages
Special messages will appear on the monitor screen to identify
the following monitor conditions:
■
Video mode not supported - If there is something wrong with
the input signal, a message appears on the screen or the
screen goes blank although the power indicator light is still
on. This message indicates the monitor is out of scan range or
that you need to check the signal cable.
■
No Connection, check signal cable - Indicates the video cable
may not be plugged into the computer or the computer may
not be turned on.
Energy saver feature
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor
uses 120 watts maximum of power and the Power light is green.
The monitor also 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 and/or the vertical sync signal.
Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is
blanked and the power light flashes green. When the monitor is in
the reduced power state, the monitor will use 3 watts maximum of
power. There is a brief warm up period before the monitor will
return to its normal operating mode.
Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy
saver features (sometimes called power management features).
✎
The above energy saver feature only works when connected to
computers that have energy saver features.
