Power Management Modes  
If you have VESA's DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in  
use. This is referred to as Power Save Mode*. If the computer detects input from keyboard, mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes  
functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy  
During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state which are hard to see and  
do not affect the display quality or usability.For more information on Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy, see Dell Support site at: support.dell.com.  
Maintenance Guidelines  
Cleaning Your Monitor  
WARNING: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor.  
WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet.  
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:  
l
To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the  
antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.  
l
l
l
l
Use a lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the monitor.  
If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.  
Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored monitor.  
To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and turn off your monitor when not in use.

Troubleshooting  
Dell™ P2210 Flat Panel Monitor User's Guide  
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Instructions.  
Self-Test  
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly  
connected but the monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:  
1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.  
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. To ensure proper Self-Test operation, remove all Digital (white connector) and the Analog (blue  
connector) cables from the back of computer.  
3. Turn on the monitor.  
The floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background) if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly.  
While in self-test mode, the power LED remains green. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously  
scroll through the screen.  
or  
or  
1. This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.  
2. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.  
If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer, because your monitor is functioning  
properly.  
Built-in Diagnostics  
Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or  
with your computer and video card.  
NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable is unplugged and the monitor is in self-test mode.  
     
To run the built-in diagnostics:  
1. Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen).  
2. Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The monitor then goes into the self-test mode.  
3. Press and hold the Button 1 and Button 4 on the front panel, simultaneously for 2 seconds. A gray screen appears.  
4. Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.  
5. Press the Button 4 on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to red.  
6. Inspect the display for any abnormalities.  
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, and white colored screens.  
The test is complete when the white screen appears. To exit, press the Button 4 again.  
If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool, the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer.
