There are four selections for Power Management (PM):
Disabled Turns off PM
Max Saving Maximized power saving by activating
maximum power saving settings after one
minute of system inactivity.
Min Saving Produces less power saving by activating
moderate power saving settings after one hour
of system inactivity.
User Defined You set the power saving options manually.
With the exception of Disabled, three of the above selections
have "fixed-mode" settings. Therefore, when PM is set to
Disabled, some items which are predefined will become unmodi-
fiable.
PM Control by APM
When this is set to Yes, the Advanced Power Management feature
in Microsoft Windows controls power management operation.
The default setting is No.

modes are a function of the PM mode of the computer. The
choices are All ModesàOff, Always On, SuspendàOff, and
Susp, StbyàOff.
The table below summarizes the behavior of the monitor in
relation to the four PM modes.
