Apple ColorSync Display - Manual (Page 24)

Turning the monitor on
To turn on the monitor for the first time:
1 Plug in the computer’s power cord.
2 Press the power button on the monitor.
If you plug your monitor directly into your computer, no power indicator light
goes on until you start up your computer. If you plug your monitor into a wall
outlet, the monitor’s amber power indicator light goes on. When you start up
your computer, the indicator light turns green.
3 Start up your computer and wait a few seconds.
The green power indicator light goes on. If the power indicator light
does not go on, press the monitor’s power button again. If this doesn’t work,
make sure you’ve connected the monitor cable and power cord properly.
(See “Connecting the Monitor to Your Computer” earlier in this chapter.)
Also, make sure your computer is turned on and no energy-saving or screen-
saving features are active. The power indicator light on the 20-inch (19-inch
VIS) monitor is amber when an energy-saving program is on; it is off on the
17-inch (16.1-inch VIS) monitor in energy-saving mode.
For Mac OS–based computers, you must install the Apple Displays software
that came with your monitor before adjusting the screen with the front panel
buttons and using other monitor features. For more information on Apple
Displays software installation and Energy Saver, see Chapter 2, “Installing
and Using Apple Displays Software.”
