Using Your Monitor This chapter contains information about using your LCD monitor. Turning the Monitor On and Off Use the power button located at the lower middle of the front panel of the monitor to turn the monitor on and off. When the monitor is on, the light (LED) near the Power button is illuminated. The light is green when both the monitor and PC are active, and amber when the monitor is in a reduced power mode. If your PC sends power saving signals to the monitor, the monitor's power management features reduce power consumption to low levels when your PC goes into its power-saving mode. See the "Minimizing Power Consumption" section for more information. If your PC doesn't use industry standard power-save signaling techniques, you can reduce power consumption by turning off the monitor when it won't be used for an extended period. You can turn the monitor off even if you leave your PC running. Note: Because of the technology used in LCD panels, screen savers will not prolong the life of your monitor. So if the monitor will not be used for an extended period, be sure to turn it off. Warning To completely disconnect power from your display, you must remove the power cord from the wall outlet and then remove the power cable from the display. 8
