Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

  1. (a)

    Televisions shall provide a power management function, enabled as delivered by the manufacturer that, within 4 hours following the last user interaction, shall switch the television from on mode into standby mode or networked standby mode or another mode which does not exceed the applicable power demand requirements respectively for standby or networked standby mode. Before such automatic switch, televisions shall show, for at least 20 seconds, an alert message warning the user of the impending switch, with possibility of delaying or temporarily cancelling it.

  2. (b)

    If the television provides a function allowing the user to shorten, extend or disable the 4-hour period for automatic mode transitions detailed in (a), a warning message shall appear about a potential increase in energy use and a confirmation of the new setting must be requested when an extension beyond the 4-hour period or disabling is selected.

  3. (c)

    If the television is equipped with a room presence sensor, the automatic transition from on mode into any mode as detailed in (a) applies if no presence is detected for no more than 1 hour.

  4. (d)

    Televisions with various selectable input sources shall prioritise the power management protocols of the signal source selected and displayed over those default power management mechanisms described in the paragraphs (a) to (c) above.
