Using Auto-Sleep Mode - HP DreamColor Z Series User Manual

Using Auto-Sleep Mode

The display supports an OSD (On-Screen Display) option called Auto-Sleep Mode that allows you to enable or
disable a reduced power state for the display. When Auto-Sleep Mode is enabled (enabled by default), the
monitor will enter a reduced power state when the host PC signals low power mode (absence of either
horizontal or vertical sync signal).
Upon entering this reduced power state sleep mode, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned
off and the power LED indicator turns amber. The monitor draws less than 0.5W of power when in this
reduced power mode. The monitor will wake from the sleep mode when the host PC sends an active signal to
the monitor (for example, if you activate the mouse or keyboard).
You can disable the Auto-Sleep Mode in the OSD. Press one of the five front bezel Functional buttons to
activate the buttons, and then press the Menu button to open the OSD. In the OSD press Power Control >
Auto-Sleep Mode > Disable.
