Switching the monitor on/off

The ON/OFF switch (6) is used for switching the monitor on and off.

The power indicator (5) glows green when the monitor and computer are switched on. The power

indicator glows amber when the monitor does not receive a video signal or is in the energy-saving

mode. The power indicator goes off when the monitor is switched off.

When you switch the computer system on, you must proceed in the following order:

Ê First switch the LCD monitor on with the ON/OFF switch (6).

Ê Then switch on the computer.

If your computer has a power management function (energy-saving mode), you should

read the "Notes on power management" of the monitor in this chapter.

Notes on power management

If your computer is equipped with power management, the monitor can support this function fully.

Here the monitor does not distinguish between the individual energy-saving modes of the computer

(standby mode, suspend mode and OFF mode), as it is capable of immediately switching into the

mode with the highest energy-saving effect.

Stage ON Energy-saving mode

Power indicator lights green glows amber

Function Monitor operating

normally

Monitor

is dark

Power consumption normal

< 42 W

reduced to < 3 W

If your computer detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce

the power consumption (energy-saving mode). The power indicator of the monitor changes colour to

indicate the status change.

Once an input is made at the computer the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.

For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating Manual or

Technical Manual of the computer.

When the monitor is switched to the energy-saving mode by the power management

system a power consumption of up to 3 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing

the screen contents.

To completely switch off the power consumption, switch off the computer or pull the plug

of the monitor power cable out of the monitor socket of the computer or of the mains

outlet.
