Power Management System The monitor has three power-saving states indicated by the LED on the front panel. A personal computer can control these states to reduce the monitor’s output power levels while not in use, thus saving energy. For proper operation of this Power Management System, make sure that the monitor signal cable is connected to the host system and that the host is On.
Asbestos This monitor does not use asbestos in any form. Flame Retardants The enclosures do not contain polybrominated diphenylether (PBDE) as a flame retardant additive; therefore, they do not emit toxic dibenzofuran and dibenzodioxin gases.
