This monitor complies with the EPA's International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a program designed to encourage manufacturers of computer equipment to 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, the monitor will then enter the Active Off mode (different from total shut down). In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still show amber. By following these conventions the power can be reduced to the following levels:

VESA state LED indicator Power Consumption On Green

<55 W Active Off Amber

<2 W To wake the monitor when it is in Active 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. www.gateway.com 13 Chapter 1: Using Your Flat Panel Monitor Maintenance To keep your monitor in optimal working order:
