Introduction
Welcome to the world of powerful, portable, multimedia
computing. With your Toshiba computer, your work and
entertainment can accompany you wherever you go.
Your computer model may be ENERGY STAR
®
qualified. If the
model you purchased is qualified, 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.
See the “Mobile Computing” section of the Toshiba User’s Guide
for more information on using power management settings to
conserve computer energy.
