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:

Plug and Play Capability  
You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play-compatible system. The monitor automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display  
Identification Data (EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the system can configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. Most monitor  
installations are automatic; you can select different settings if desired. For more information about changing the monitor settings, see Operating the Monitor.  
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. The visible result is a fixed  
pixel that appears as an extremely tiny dark or bright discolored spot. In almost every case, these fixed pixels are hard to see and do not detract from display  
quality or usability. A display with 1 to 5 fixed pixels is considered normal and within competitive standards. For more information, see Dell Support site at:  
support.dell.com.  
Maintenance Guidelines  
Cleaning Your Monitor  
CAUTION: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor.  
CAUTION: 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 dark-colored monitors may scratch and show white scuff marks more than light-colored monitors.  
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 Your Monitor  
Self-Test Feature Check  
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 both 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 blue. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously scroll  
through the screen.  
or  
4. This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.  
5. 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 B and E buttons on the front panel, simultaneously for 2 seconds. A gray screen appears.
