Using Your EV Series Monitor
Power management
ENERGY STAR
As an ENERGY STAR
®
Partner, Gateway has determined that this product
meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
This monitor complies with the EPA's International ENERGY STAR Program,
which is a program designed to have manufacturers of computer equipment
build circuitry into their products to reduce energy consumption during time
of non-use.
Energy declaration
When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power
Management Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, this monitor can conserve
significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use.
When the computer goes into the energy saving mode (Standby), the monitor
goes into a suspended operating state and the power LED light changes from
a green color to an amber color.
After an extended period in the suspended mode, the monitor will then enter
the Off mode (different from total shut down). In the Off mode the Power
LED will still show amber.
By following these conventions the power can be reduced to the following
levels:
To “wake” the monitor when it is in Standby or Off mode, move your mouse
or press any keyboard key.
You can change the period of time after which the monitor enters these low
power states by accessing the power management options in the Control
Panel.
