Power Sensor - Philips BRILLIANCE 221B3 User Manual

4. Power Sensor

4. Power Sensor™
PowerSensor is a unique environmentally friendly technology from Philips which enables user to save
up to 80% of power consumption. In line with Philip's Sense and Simplicity drive, this user friendly
technology works for you right out of the box without any hardware or software installation, and
without any user intervention in the default mode.
How does it work?
PowerSensor works on principle of transmission and reception of harmless "infrared" signals in
order to detect user-presence.
When the user is in front of the monitor the monitor operates normally, at the predetermined
settings that the user has set- i.e. Brightness, contrast, color, etc
Assuming that the monitor was set to 100% of brightness for example, when the user leaves
his seat and is no longer in front of the monitor, the monitor automatically reduces the power
consumption up to 80%.
