Tips

• Even if a monitor does not meet the requirements above, as long as it conforms to the power management standards for monitors (VESA DPM, DVI DMPM), power control operations can be performed.

• If a monitor is equipped with multiple input systems, it will operate correctly when it is set for manual signal selection between the systems.

• An EIZO LCD monitor will operate correctly when its power saving setting is enabled.

Note

• When the installation of the software is complete, the <Input Signal> function of the monitor is locked to

“Manual”. To automatically switch between several input signals by selecting “Auto”, it is necessary to uninstall the software. For details of the <Input Signal> function, refer to the user’s manual of the monitor.
