Apple Power Macintosh 7600/132 Series - Manual (Page 21)

Saving energy with the Energy Saver control panel
When you save energy, you save natural resources and reduce pollution. Your
Power Macintosh contains features that automatically save energy. You can
increase the energy savings by using the Energy Saver control panel to turn
your computer off if you won’t be using it for a while—for example, overnight
or over the weekend.
The Energy Saver dialog box (shown in step 3 of “Turning the Computer On”
earlier in this chapter) appears every time you start your computer until you
open the Energy Saver control panel. Once you you open the control panel,
you can accept the pre-set options shown there, or set your own energy-saving
options. If you do not want to set your energy-saving options when the
Energy Saver dialog box is displayed, you can click Close Message or press
Return (the Energy Saver dialog box continues to appear when you start your
computer).
Setting energy-saving options
You can get to the Energy Saver control panel by clicking Specify Settings in
the Energy Saver dialog box that appears when you start your computer or by
choosing Control Panels in the Apple (K) menu.
The Energy Saver control panel has pre-set options you can accept or you can
specify different settings. To learn more about the Energy Saver control
panel, refer to the information on saving energy in Macintosh Guide, available
in the Guide (h) menu.
