| Power mode Power consumption (power) indicator | |
| normal operation | 45 W (max.) green |
| active off* (deep sleep)** | 1.0 W (max.) orange |
| power off 1.0 W (max.) off | |
SDM-HS95D
| Power mode Power consumption | ( power) indicator | |
| normal operation | 50 W (max.) green | |
| active off* (deep sleep)** | 1.0 W (max.) | orange |
| power off 1.0 W (max.) | off | |
- When your computer enters the "active off" mode, the input signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 5 seconds, the monitor enters the power saving mode. ** "deep sleep" is the power saving mode defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Reducing the power consumption
(m o d e)
If you set the mode to LOW by pressing the button on the front of the monitor, the backlight level is reduced and the power consumption is reduced, too.
Press the button several times until LOW appears.

LOW appears on the screen and the backlight level is reduced. LOW automatically disappears after about 5 seconds.
Automatic picture quality adjustment function (analog RGB signal only)
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically adjusts the picture's position and sharpness (phase/pitch), and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen.
The factory preset mode
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitor's memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of the screen. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the picture appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate default adjustments.
If input signals do not match one of the factory preset modes
When the monitor receives an input signal that does not match one of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor is activated to ensure that a clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following monitor frequency ranges):
Horizontal frequency: 28 - 80kHz
Vertical frequency: 48 - 75Hz
Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor may take a longer time than normal to display the picture on the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that next time, the monitor will function in the same way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of the factory preset modes.
Note
There is no need to adjust the digital RGB signals of the DVI-D input connector for INPUT1.
If you adjust the phase, pitch, and picture position manually
For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor may not completely adjust the picture position, phase, and pitch. In this case, you can set these adjustments manually (page 12). If you set these adjustments manually, they are stored in memory as user modes and automatically recalled whenever the monitor receives the same input signals.
Note
While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only the (power) switch will operate.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
On-screen messages
If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the following messages appears on the screen. To solve the problem, see "Trouble symptoms and remedies" on page 18.
If OUT OF RANGE appears on the screen
This indicates that the input signal is not supported by the monitor's specifications. Check the following items.

If "xxx.x kHz/xxx Hz" is displayed
This indicates that either the horizontal or vertical frequency is not supported by the monitor's specifications.
The figures indicate the horizontal and vertical frequencies of the current input signal.
If "RESOLUTION > 1280 × 1024" is displayed
This indicates that the resolution is not supported by the monitor's specifications (1280 × 1024 or less).
If NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen
This indicates that no signal is being input.

GO TO POWER SAVE
The monitor will enter the power saving mode after about 5 seconds from the time the message is displayed.
If CABLE DISCONNECTED appears on the screen
This indicates that the video signal cable has been disconnected.

Safety precautions
Safety precautions when connecting to the power supply
- Use the power cord supplied with the monitor. If you use another power cord, make sure that it is suitable for use in your local power supply. For customers in the USA, if you use an unsuitable power cord, the monitor will not comply with the mandatory FCC standards. For customers in the United Kingdom, if you use the monitor in the UK, use the appropriate power cord for the UK.
AC 100-120V
AC power supply
AC 200-240V
AC power supply
Only for 240 V AC
The power outlet should be located within easy reach and close to the device.
Installation
Do not install or leave the monitor:
In places exposed to high temperatures, for example, near radiators, heaters, or in places where direct sunlight may fall. Placing the monitor in places exposed to high temperatures, for example, in cars parked in sunny places or near heaters, may cause deformation of the housing or malfunctions. In places where there is vibration or sharp mechanical impacts. Near devices that emit strong magnetic fields, for example, televisions or other household appliances. In places where a lot of dust, dirt, or sand can accumulate, for example, near an open window or at the entrance to a room. If the device is moved to another place, be sure to take appropriate precautions against dust and dirt in the air. Otherwise, the device may be irreparably damaged.
Install the system on a flat surface. Do not install it on an uneven surface: for example, on the edge of a table. If part of the system protrudes beyond the edge of the surface on which it is installed, this may cause the device to fall, trip, or be damaged.
LCD screen care
Do not leave the LCD screen in places where sunlight falls on it, as this may damage it. Be careful when placing the monitor near a window. Do not touch or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place heavy objects on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to warp or the LCD panel to malfunction. - If the monitor is used in a cold place, residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen will return to normal display as soon as the temperature becomes normal.
- If a still image is displayed for a long time, a residual image may appear on the screen temporarily. The residual image will disappear over time.
- The LCD panel heats up during operation. This is not a malfunction.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) precautions
Please note that the LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, dark or light dots (red, blue, or green) may constantly appear on the LCD screen, as well as irregular colored stripes or bright spots. This is not a malfunction.

If the input signal does not match any of the factory-preset modes
When the monitor receives an input signal that does not match any of the factory-preset modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, which ensures a constantly sharp image on the screen (within the following monitor synchronization frequency ranges):
Horizontal scanning frequency:
28-80 kHz
Vertical scanning frequency:
48-75 Hz
T
Therefore, when the monitor receives an input signal that does not match any of the factory-preset modes for the first time, it takes longer than usual to display the image. Subsequently, these settings are automatically saved in memory, so the next time the monitor will operate in the same way as when receiving signals that match one of the factory-preset modes.
Note
Set the RGB signal input from the DVI-D input connector; there is no need for adjustment.
If you adjust the phase, clock, and image position manually
For some input signals, the automatic image quality adjustment function of this monitor may not fully adjust the image position, phase, and clock. In this case, these adjustments can be performed manually (p.12). If the adjustments are made manually, they are stored in memory as user modes and are automatically recalled each time the same input signals are received by the monitor.
Note
If the automatic image quality adjustment function has been activated, it works only when the power is turned on.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting Technical Support, please read this section.
Screen messages
If something is wrong with the input signal, one of the following messages appears on the screen. For instructions on how to fix the problem, see the section "Symptoms of malfunctions and actions to take" on p.18.
If the screen displays "OUT OF RANGE"
This indicates that the input signal does not match the monitor's specifications. Check the following.

If the screen displays "xxx.xkHz/ xxxHz", this indicates that either the horizontal frequency or the vertical frequency does not match the monitor's specifications. The numbers indicate the horizontal and vertical frequencies of the current input signal.
If the screen displays "RESOLUTION>1280 ×1024"
This indicates that the resolution does not match the monitor's specifications (1280×1024 or lower).
The screen displays the message NO SIGNAL
This indicates that at the current moment the signal is not being supplied.
