Introduction
This microprocessor-based, digitally controled 19” color monitor
is a high performance and easy to use product. It employs the
latest on-screen-menu technology. The microprocessor capability
offers 10 most commonly used VESA timing modes preset in the
factory, and 6 modes adjustable to the special timings the user
may need.
Power Saving
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor
utilizes less than 120 watts of power and the Power LED is green.
The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduced
power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence
of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal.
Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is
blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the Power LED is turned
amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the
monitor will utilize less than 3 watts of power. There is a brief
warm up period before the monitor will return to its normal
operating mode.
Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy
saver features (sometimes called power management features).
Note: The above energy saver feature only works when
connected to computers that have energy saver features. This
feature meets the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
Energy Star requirements and reduces power consumption.

If your monitor fails to operate functionally, it may be possible to
correct the problem by making simple checks as follows:
Refer to the operating instructions for your computer/video
adapter to ensure that you have the correct signal output source
for the monitor. Ensure that the video adapter is set correctly for
operation with this monitor.
If the above steps fail to correct the problem contact your
Compaq service provider.

monitor or on the computer by using the monitor’s built-in
selftest function. With the monitor power ON, disconnect the
signal cable from the monitor. If you see a “CHECK SIGNAL”
image on the screen, the monitor is functioning properly, and the
problem is with the computer or signal cable.
