VGM-480
(250-4096)                 Power Management           Faxback Doc. # 18483

As an Energy Star partner, Radio Shack has determined that your VGM-480
meets the energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.  It uses VESA-
standard Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) for achieving the
energy savings.

DPMS conserves electricity by reducing power consumption when you are not
using the monitor.  DPMA-compatible computers automatically set the monitor
to standby or suspend when the computer is inactive for a programmable
amount of time.  It also reduces power usage to only 5 watts (1/12 the
power used by a standard light bulb) when you turn off your computer.  See
your computer's Owner's Manual for information about enabling and setting
the DPMS modes.

The following table summarizes the power-saving modes:

                                        Maximum
