ENERGY STAR
®
Program
Your computer model may be ENERGY STAR
®
Compliant. If the model you purchased is compliant, it
is labeled with the ENERGY STAR logo on the
computer and the following information applies.
TOSHIBA. is a partner in the Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STAR Program and has
designed this computer to meet the latest ENERGY
STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. Your computer
ships with the power management options preset to a configuration that will
provide the most stable operating environment and optimum system
performance for both AC power and battery modes.
To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-power Sleep
Mode which shuts down the system and display within 15 minutes of
inactivity in AC power mode. We recommend that you leave this and other
energy saving features active, so that your computer will operate at its
maximum energy efficiency. You can wake the computer from Sleep Mode
by pressing the power button.
According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new ENERGY STAR
specifications will use between 20% and 50% less energy depending on
how it is used. If all U.S. household and businesses replaced old
computers with new ENERGY STAR qualified models, we would save more
than $1.8 billion in energy costs over the next five years and avoid
greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to more than 2.7 million cars.
If every computer purchased by businesses next year met the new
ENERGY STAR requirements, businesses would save more than $210
million over the lifetime of those models. That is equivalent to lighting 120
million square feet of U.S. commercial building space each year.
