Conserving energy

Use the Energy Saver control panel to tell the monitor whether to conserve
energy after a specified period of inactivity.

You can use the control panel with your monitor or any other Apple monitor
that complies with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s
Energy Star program. (Look for the EPA Energy Star logo on the monitor box.)

Note: When you save energy, you save natural resources and reduce pollution.
Although the ColorSync Display includes features that automatically save
energy, you can increase the energy savings by turning the monitor off if you
won’t be using it for awhile—for example, overnight or over the weekend.

specify separate timings for Display Sleep and Hard Disk Sleep. (Hard Disk
Sleep saves energy by stopping the spin of the hard disk.)

3

Close the control panel.
