Using Energy Wisely By purchasing this low-power, Energy Star compliant computer, you join a growing number of users concerned about conserving energy. Here are a few additional tips you can use to be even more energy-wise: If your printer and monitor aren't Energy Star compliant, turn them off when you're not using them. Use your software's print preview option (if available) before you print something. You'll be able to catch formatting errors before you commit them to paper. If you have an electronic mail system available to you, send E-mail rather than memos. Not only is this faster, but you'll save paper and storage space too. Use recycled paper whenever you can Using Your Green PC Features Your computer places the system, the hard disk drive, or both into a low-power standby mode when the keyboard or mouse has been inactive for the time periods you select in SETUP. See Chapter 1 for information on setting these values. When your system is in standby mode, the Num Lock light on your keyboard flashes and your screen is blank. Press any key or move the mouse to resume activity. If the hard disk drive is in standby mode, it doesn't return to active mode until you access it. You'll hear it start again. It will take a second or two to reach its operating speed and read or write to the disk. The hard disk drive access light turns on when the system begins accessing the disk. 2-4 Using Your Computer
