Power Management
To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in conjunction
with a computer that implements the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS)
Standard.
The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes
that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period.
There are several states as described in the table below.

If your computer has
previously been used with a
CRT monitor and is currently
configured to a display mode
outside the range that the Flat
Panel monitor can display, you may
need to re-attach the CRT monitor
temporarily until you have re-
configured the computer,
preferably to 1024 x 768 at 60Hz.
