setting area of the graphics card, and then the factory presetting area. It then adjusts to the
proper display mode.
4. Display Modes Memory
The controller has the memory capacity to store different display modes, including timing
formats and display-settings.
Factory Presetting Area
There are some preferred display modes preset in the controller. These display modes are
preset at the factory and include the most popular display modes currently available. The
controller searches for a proper display mode in this area if it fails to find a proper display
mode in the user setting area.

6.Power Saving Feature
When the power saving active them the power indicator LED will be from Green Light to
Amber and power saving feature complies with these VESA power saving modes:
Mode H. Sync. V. Sync. LED Power Consumption
Normal On On Green <40W
Stand-by Off On Amber < 3W
Suspend On Off Amber < 3W
Off Off Off Amber < 3W
The monitor uses the H. Sync and V. Sync signals to determine the operation mode to enter.
The monitor power-saving feature automatically turns off H. Sync and V. Sync if there is no
input from the system for a certain period of time. To use this feature, you need a green PC
that is compliant with the VESA power saving feature or a software utility to detect system
input such as keyboard or mouse.
Time Settings
Time settings are adjusted from the system unit by software. To fulfil the requirements in
the NUTEK specification 803299/94 the total time from indicated inactivity to Power Saving
position A2 (VESA OFF) must not be set more than 70 minutes. We recommend you switch
off the monitor when you do not intend to use it for awhile.
