Energy Saving Tips

Š

Activate the ECO power saving function to manage the computer’s energy consumption.

Š

Turn off the monitor after a period of user inactivity.

Š

Utilize the Fn and F12 sleep mode keys to turn into power saving mode.

Š

Tune the settings in Power Options under Windows OS to optimize the computer’s power

management.

Š

Always disconnect the AC power cord or uninstall the battery pack or switch off the wall

socket if the computer would be left unused for a certain time to achieve zero energy

consumption.

The power management feature allows the computer to initiate a lower-power or “Sleep” mode

after a period of user inactivity. When used with an external ENERGY STAR qualified monitor,

this feature also supports similar power management features of the monitor. To take advantage

of these potential energy savings, the power management feature has been preset to behave in

the following ways when the system is operating on AC power:

Š

Turn off the display after 5 minutes

Š

Initiate Sleep after 10 minutes

The computer exits Sleep when the power/Sleep button is pressed. When the Wake On LAN

(WOL) feature is enabled, the computer can also exit Sleep in response to a network signal.
