Setting Up and Using the Flat Panel Monitor EN-7
If you want more desktop space or more versatility in viewing
positions, you may want to purchase a mobile arm or wall mounting
bracket. The flat panel monitor has a standard Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) mounting on the rear. Mobile arms are
available in many computer stores.
Turning Off the Flat Panel Monitor
To turn off the monitor, press the power button on the front. See
Figure 1-1. It is recommend that you turn your monitor off whenever
you are going to be away for more than a few hours; doing so can
dramatically increase the life span of the lamps in the backlight of the
flat panel monitor.
Also, if your computer has screen-saver and power-saving functions,
make sure they are enabled. As with a CRT, the screen saver prevents
an image from being burned into the screen. Using a power-saving
function helps prolong the life of the backlight lamps inside the flat
panel monitor.
In power-saving mode, the LED on the monitor is solid yellow. To
restore power, move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. Refer
also to the documentation that came with your computer’s flat panel
adapter board for instructions specific to your computer.
Removing the Flat Panel Monitor From Its Base and
Replacing It on the Base
In typical operation, the flat panel monitor should remain attached to
its base. However, you might want to remove the monitor from its
base to, for example, place it on a mounting arm or wall mount.
Follow the instructions in these sections to remove the monitor from
its base and to place it back on the base.
