Remember these tips when you set the screen saver:
• The two delay periods are cumulative. If it takes 15 minutes
of user inactivity for the DOME DPMS screen saver to start,
and there is a 30-minute delay until power-off mode is
invoked for the current time period, power-off mode starts
only after a total of 45 minutes of user inactivity.
• After being in power-off mode for a long time, the monitor
can take as many as 30 minutes to reach optimal performance
conditions when the video power is turned on again. To
ensure that the monitor is performing optimally when you
need it, use the DOME DPMS screen saver to force the
monitor to wake up before periods of heavy use.
