Using Energy Wisely
By purchasing this low-power, Energy Star
compliant computer, you join a growing number
of users concerned about conserving energy. Here are a few
additional tips you can use to be even more energy-wise:
If your printer and monitor are not Energy Star compliant,
turn them off when you’re not using them.
Use the print preview option on your software before you
print something. You’ll be able to catch formatting errors
before you commit them to paper.
If you have an electronic mail system available to you, send
E-mail rather than memos. Not only is this faster, but you’ll
save paper and storage space too.
Use recycled paper whenever you can and, if possible,
reuse or recycle used paper instead ofthrowing it away
Using Your Green PC Features
Your computer places the CPU, the hard disk drive, an Energy
Star compliant monitor, or all of these components into
Suspend mode when the keyboard or mouse has been inactive
for 5 minutes. Using the SETUP program, you can customize
this timer and set up additional energy saving features. (See
“Setting the Green PC Features” in Chapter 2 for instructions
on setting these features.)
Three power-saving modes are available: Doze, Standby, and
Suspend. Each mode provides progressively increased power
conservation and affects progressively more components in
your system. The power-saving operations performed by your
computer in each of these modes are summarized in the table
below.
