Power Management Modes  
If you have VESA's DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your computer, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. This is referred to as 
Save Mode *. If the computer detects input from keyboard, mouse, or other input devices, the computer automatically resumes functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and 
signaling of this automatic power saving feature:   
The OSD will only function in the  normal operation  mode. When the  Exit  control is touched in Active - off mode, one of the following messages will be displayed:   VESA Modes Horizontal Sync Vertical Sync  Video Power Indicator Power Consumption
Normal operation Active Active Active  White 55 W (typical 2D Mode)/75 W (maximum)
Active - off mode Inactive Inactive Blanked Amber (Breathing) Less than 2 W
Switch off - - - Off Less than 1 W
 
or  
						

							Activate the computer and the monitor to gain access to the  OSD.  
* Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the main cable from the monitor.
