Program
Your computer model may be Energy Star
®
qualified. If the model you
purchased is compliant, 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. TOSHIBA recommends
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. Products that
earn the ENERGY STAR
®
prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting
strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US EPA and the EU
Commission. According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new ENERGY
STAR
®
specifications will use between 20% and 50% less energy
depending on how it is used. Visit
