Operating the Monitor

User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not present
if you are not using a Compaq standard graphics adapter or if you are not
using a preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen
by using the on-screen display. User changes can be made to any or all of
these modes and saved in memory. The monitor automatically stores the new
setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition
to the 12 factory preset modes, there are four user modes that can be entered
and stored.
Energy Saver Feature
The energy saver feature has four different modes of operation:
■
Full power
■
Suspend
■
Sleep
■
Programmable Sleep
By selecting settings in the computer’s Energy Saver utility, you can
determine the length of the inactivity period before the monitor goes into sleep
or programmable sleep mode.
Table 3-5 describes the monitor’s energy saver levels available during the
different modes of operation.
