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 aren't 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 m ail system available to you, send
E-mail rather than memos. Not only is this faster, but you '11
save paper and storage space too.
Use recycled paper whenever you can and, if possible,
reuse or recycle used paper instead of throwing it away
Using Your Green PC Featutes
If you have an Energy Star compliant monitor, your computer
places the monitor, the hard disk drive, or both into a
low-power standby mode when the keyboard or mouse has
been inactive for the time periods you select in SETUP. See
Chapter 2 for information on setting these values.
When your system is in standby mode, the Num Lock light on
your keyboard flashes and your screen is blank. (Screens on
non-compliant monitors go blank, but do not enter low-power
standby mode.) Press any key or move the mouse to resume
activity.
