Technical Features Power saving function (user sensor/power saving mode) This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically enter the power saving mode. It automatically enters the low power consumption mode when the user sensor detects the absence of a user.

The icon of user sensor appears and flashes on the screen before the monitor enters this mode. In low power consumption mode, the monitor is in a power saving state and shuts off power to all circuitry (except for that of the sensors) regardless of the setting of the computer. The monitor returns to normal operation mode when the presence of a user is detected by the user sensor. When the monitor enters the power saving mode (as set according to the computer's settings), the power saving mode takes precedence over the low power consumption mode. In this case, the monitor stays in the power saving mode regardless of the presence or absence of a user. To return the monitor to normal operation mode, reset the computer's power saving mode. If the user sensor does not seem to function properly, refer to the instructions on the next page. 2 Power saving mode DPMS defines the active off state according to the state of the sync signals supplied from the computer. This monitor's power consumption is input at approximately 1.3 W or less in this state if the power saving function is set to ON. When your computer enters the power saving mode, the input signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode. GB Power saving state active off (deep sleep)* Sync signal state horizontal: off / vertical: off * "Deep sleep" is a power saving mode defined by the Environmental Protection Agency. Notes • The power saving function may not work normally depending on the pattern of supplied sync signals. In such a case, set the power saving function to OFF. • When you connect a computer whose power is connected to the USB upstream connector on the monitor, the monitor will not enter the power saving mode. If the user sensor does not seem to function properly Are you within the user detection area? The user sensor, as shown below, detects the presence/absence of a user -the center of the body- up to a distance of approximately 70 cm and at an angle of 30 degrees horizontal/vertical from the sensor phototransmitter. 19
