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

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

depending on how it is used.
