Technical Features
Power saving function (user sensor/power saving mode)
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, E NERGY S TAR, 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.
* Figures reflect power consumption when the computer connected to the USB upstream connector on the monitor is turned off.
1 Low power consumption mode (user sensor)
When the user sensor in the monitor detects the absence of a user,
the monitor enters low power consumption mode after about 20
seconds. 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.
* “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.
