Energy Star Compliance
Compaq Internet PC products marked with the Energy Star Logo are compliant with
Energy Star Computers Program 2.0 standard of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). The EPA Energy Star Logo does not imply endorsement by the EPA.
As an Energy Star Partner, Compaq Computer Corporation has determined that
products marked with the Energy Star Logo meet the Energy Star guidelines for
energy efficiency.
The Energy Star Computers Program was created by the EPA to promote energy
efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in
homes, offices, and factories. Compaq products achieve this standard by reducing
power consumption when not being used. Instructions for using the energy saving
features of your computer are located in the power management section of the
documentation that came with your computer.
The power management feature of your computer is supported when used with the
following operating system: Microsoft Windows Operating System.
The power management feature, when used in conjunction with an external Energy
Star compliant monitor, will support the power-down features of the monitor. The
power management feature allows an external monitor to go into low-power mode
when the screen saver timeout occurs. To take advantage of these energy savings, the
monitor’s power management feature has been preset to power down the monitor
after a period of system inactivity. Refer to the power management section of the
documentation that came with your computer for instructions on modifying or
disabling this feature.
`
CAUTION:
Using the Energy Save Monitor feature with non-Energy Star compliant monitors
may cause video distortion when the screen saver timeout occurs.
`
CAUTION:
The power management feature is not compatible with some non-Compaq
bus-mastering ISA devices. Using the power management feature with some of these
devices may cause errors when the system is placed in the low power state.
