to ship your monitor. 
• For maximum protection, repackage your monitor as it was originally packed at the factory. 
• To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be 
removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents

PLUG AND PLAY  
 
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature 
 
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. 
It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC 
used, communicate additional information about its display capabilities. The DDC2B is a 
bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the 
DDC2B channel. 
 
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO 
INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE 
MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. 
 
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards 
Association (VESA) and/or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The 
Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy 
by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When there is no video 
input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to power saving 
mode. This reduces the monitors internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is 
restored, full power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to 
a Screen Saver feature except the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a 
key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.
