ENERGY STAR®
What you should know about ENERGY STAR®
If your system is equipped with the ENERGY STAR it will automatically shutdown after it has
been inactive for 40 minutes. You must restart your system to be able to perform operations
again - whether your system timed-out during the day or overnight. This restart process nor-
mally takes several minutes. The 40 minute timeout period is required to meet ENERGY
STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency. See below to learn more about ENERGY STAR®.
What is ENERGY STAR®
ENERGY STAR is the trusted, government-backed symbol for energy efficiency helping us
all save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.
The ENERGY STAR label was established to: 1) Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy; and 2) Make it easy for consumers to
identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sac-
rificing performance, features, and comfort.
How ENERGY STAR® works on your system
60 seconds before the ENERGY STAR timeout occurs, a message appears on your screen
informing you that the system will shutdown in 60 seconds. It begins the countdown and dis-
plays the amount of time left on the screen. An audible beep is also emitted during this time.
You can cancel the shutdown during the 60 second countdown by:
Selecting the Cancel shutdown button.
l
Selecting the ENERGY STAR® timeout setting button. This takes you to System settings
l
where you can modify the timeouts.
Closing the ENERGY STAR® message window.
l
Selecting the help button on the ENERGY STAR message window.
