Power management

Energy declaration

When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling 
(DPMS) Protocol, your monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption 
during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, your monitor 
will then enter the Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still show 
orange.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:

To “wake” your monitor when it is in Standby/Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any 
keyboard key.
You can change your monitor’s power management settings using the Windows Control Panel. For 
more information, see your computer’s User Guide.
