LightFrameTM goes into the Suspended mode as soon as a screensaver
becomes active on your computer. This is true even though the monitor
icon may still have a green center. LightFrameTM becomes active again
as soon as the screen is reawakened and the screensaver quits.
The same is true when the computer goes into Sleep mode or Deep
Sleep (Power Off) mode. LightFrameTM goes into Suspended mode and
reawakens when the monitor is reawakened.
Screen or Area is Minimized
LightFrameTM suspends when a highlighted window is minimized.
LightFrameTM reactivates when the highlighted window is again
maximized or restored to its previous size.

highlighted window. LightFrameTM reactivates once the highlighted
window is again on top.
Miscellaneous
Monitor Turned Off
If the monitor is "hard powered off" while a window or area is highlighted
and then hard powered on again, LightFrameTM is no longer active. The
icon may still show the feature as still active. In this case, you have to
exit LightFrameTM and restart it via the icon on the desktop or the Start
menu.
If the Monitor is Detached and Another Monitor is Attached
If the monitor is detached from the computer while a highlighted window
or area is displayed and then another monitor is attached, the system
will have to be rebooted so that Philips' LightFrameTM can detect the
monitor's LightFrameTM capabilities and store the setup information
about the new monitor. If the monitor is not LightFrameTM capable, an
Error message appears. See Error Message 2 under the heading Error
Messages. You can abort or continue the set up. However, if you
continue, LightFrameTM may not work with the monitor.
