Battery charge status

Battery health

Battery health indicates the amount of charge that is available to a system. In general, a battery’s health decreases over time at a rate that depends on how often the battery is used and the conditions under which it is used.
Battery health is indicated using the heart icon followed by a set of four circular icons. The number of circular icons that are filled indicates the battery health.

Table 1. Battery health indicator codes

NOTE: Health information is available only if Dell batteries are attached to your system.

Battery settings

Dell Power Manager enables users to select a Battery Setting that is optimized for specific system usage patterns. For example, some settings focus on extending battery life, while others provide fast charge times.
NOTE: Battery settings can be modified only if Dell batteries are attached to your system.

Available settings may be limited depending on the battery. Possible battery settings include:

Standard — Fully charges the battery at a moderate rate. This setting provides a balanced approach to extending battery life while providing a reasonably fast charging time. Recommended for users who frequently switch between battery and external power sources.
Express Charge™ — Quickly charges the battery using Dell fast-charge technology. Recommended for users who need the battery to charge quickly. If the system is powered off, then the battery typically charges to 80 percent within one hour and 100 percent in two hours. The charge time may be longer if the system is powered on.
NOTE: The Express Charge™ setting may cause battery health to diminish more quickly than other settings.
Primarily AC — Extends battery life by lowering the charge threshold, so that the battery never charges to 100 percent capacity. Recommended for users who primarily operate the system while plugged into an external power source.
Adaptive — Automatically optimizes battery settings based on the user’s typical patterns. Recommended for users who want to “set it and forget it.”
Custom — User selects when the battery starts and stops charging. Recommended for advanced users.

Select battery setting

On the Battery Information page, click the battery that you want to change (such as Battery #1 or Battery #2).
NOTE: If Advanced Charge is enabled, you can only access battery setting through the Advanced Charge screen.
Click Settings.
Select a pre-configured battery setting, or select Custom to define your own settings.
NOTE: Available settings may be limited depending on the battery.
Click OK to save your changes, or click Cancel to discard them.

Create custom battery setting

The Custom battery setting enables users to define when a battery starts and stops charging. This setting is recommended for advanced users who are familiar with battery charging cycles.
NOTE: There should be a minimum difference between the Start Charging and Stop Charging values specified in your system’s BIOS.

Go to the Battery Setting page, and then click Custom.
Under Start Charging, move the slider to the percentage threshold at which the battery begins charging, or enter a number in the text box. For example, entering 60 causes the battery to start charging when it depletes to 60 percent of the total available charge.
Under Stop Charging, move the slider to the percentage threshold at which the battery stops charging, or enter a number in the text box. For example, entering 90 causes the battery to stop charging when it reaches 90 percent of the total available charge.
Click OK to apply your settings, or click Cancel to discard your changes and return to the Battery Information page.

Battery charge status

View a battery’s charge status quickly by referring to the battery charge status indicator codes displayed beside the battery number on the Battery Information screen. For precise information on the percentage charged as well as the battery’s charging and AC connection status, see the Charge Status information displayed below the battery number and directly below the battery graphic.

Table 2. Battery charge status indicator codes

NOTE: Charge Status is available only if Dell batteries are attached to your system.

Advanced Charge

Advanced Charge is an optional feature that prolongs the usable life of a system’s batteries by charging them to full capacity only once per day, prior to the Start of day you establish when you Enable advanced charge. For the remainder of the day,
Advanced Charge keeps batteries in a lower charge state that is better for storage, even when the system is plugged into a direct power source.

NOTE: If the hours assigned to Peak Shift and Advanced Charge overlap, then Peak Shift takes priority. Batteries will not charge during Peak Shift hours.

Click OK to save your settings, or click Cancel to discard them.

Peak Shift

Peak Shift is an optional feature that reduces power consumption by automatically switching the system to battery power during certain times of the day, even if the system is plugged into a direct power source. After Peak Shift begins, the system will run on battery power until the combined charge level of all batteries reaches a minimum threshold. See Enabling peak shift for instructions on how to change these settings. Then, if the system is plugged in, it is powered by the direct power source;
however, the battery will not charge until the peak shift ends. Users can program the start and end times at which the Peak Shift feature is active and inactive each day.

NOTE: If the hours assigned to Peak Shift and Advanced Charge overlap, then Peak Shift takes priority. Batteries will not charge during Peak Shift hours.

Topics:

Power Management Modes
If you have VESA’s DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in
use. This is referred to as Power Save Mode*. If the computer detects input from keyboard, mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes
functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

Pin Assignments
VGA Connector

DVI Connector

Display Port Connector

Plug and Play Capability
You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play-compatible system. The monitor automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display
Identification Data (EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the system can configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. Most monitor
installations are automatic; you can select different settings if desired. For more information about changing the monitor settings, see Operating the Monitor.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface
This section gives you information about the USB ports that are available on the left side of your monitor.

NOTE: This monitor supports High-Speed Certified USB 2.0 interface.

USB Ports
l 1 upstream – back
l 4 downstream – 2 on back; 2 on left side

NOTE: USB 2.0 functionality requires a USB 2.0-capable computer
NOTE: The monitor’s USB interface works only when the monitor is on or in power save mode. If you turn off the monitor and then turn it on, the attached peripherals may take a few seconds to resume normal functionality.

LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy
During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state which are hard to see and
do not affect the display quality or usability.For more information on Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy, see Dell Support site at: support.dell.com.

Maintenance Guidelines
Cleaning Your Monitor

WARNING: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor.
WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet.

For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:
l To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the
antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.
l Use a lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the monitor.
l If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.
l Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored monitor.
l To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and turn off your monitor when not in use.

Keyboard shortcuts

NOTE: Keyboard characters may differ depending on the keyboard language configuration. Keys used for shortcuts remain the same across all language configurations.

Some keys on your keyboard have two symbols on them. These keys can be used to type alternate characters or to perform secondary functions. The symbol shown on the lower part of the key refers to the character that is typed out when the key is pressed. If you press shift and the key, the symbol shown on the upper part of the key is typed out. For example, if you press 2, 2 is typed out; if you press Shift + 2, @ is typed out.

The keys F1-F12 at the top row of the keyboard are function keys for multi-media control, as indicated by the icon at the bottom of the key. Press the function key to invoke the task represented by the icon. For example, pressing F1 mutes the audio (refer to the table below).
However, if the function keys F1-F12 are needed for specific software applications, multi-media functionality can be disabled by pressing fn + Esc. Subsequently, multi-media control can be invoked by pressing fn and the respective function key. For example, mute audio by pressing fn + F1.

NOTE: You can also define the primary behavior of the function keys (F1F12) by changing Function Key Behavior in BIOS setup program.

The fn key is also used with selected keys on the keyboard to invoke other secondary functions.

Keyboard shortcuts

NOTE: Keyboard characters may differ depending on the keyboard language configuration. Keys used for shortcuts remain the same across all language configurations.
Some keys on your keyboard have two symbols on them. These keys can be used to type alternate characters or to perform secondary functions. The symbol shown on the lower part of the key refers to the character that is typed out when the key is pressed. If you press shift and the key, the symbol shown on the upper part of the key is typed out. For example, if you press 2, 2 is typed out; if you press Shift + 2, @ is typed out.
The keys F1-F12 at the top row of the keyboard are function keys for multimedia control, as indicated by the icon at the bottom of the key. Press the function key to invoke the task represented by the icon. For example, pressing F1 mutes the audio (refer to the table below).
However, if the function keys F1-F12 are needed for specific software applications, multi-media functionality can be disabled by pressing Fn + Esc. Subsequently, multi-media control can be invoked by pressing Fn and the respective function key. For example, mute audio by pressing Fn + F1.
NOTE: You can also define the primary behavior of the function keys (F1–F12) by changing Function Key Behavior in BIOS setup program.
