Introduction Welcome to the world of powerful and portable multimedia computers! Some software may differ from its retail version (if available), and may not include user manuals or all program functionality. Your computer model may be ENERGY STAR® qualified. If the model you purchased is qualified, 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. We recommend 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. See the "Mobile Computing" section of the Toshiba User's Guide for more information on using power management settings to conserve computer energy. According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new ENERGY STAR® specifications will use between 30% and 60% less energy depending on how it is used. If all U.S. households and businesses replaced old computers with new ENERGY STAR® qualified models, we would save more than $2 billion in energy costs each year and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 3 million cars. If every computer purchased by businesses this year met the new ENERGY STAR® requirements, businesses would save more than $1.6 billion over the lifetime of those models. That is equivalent to lighting 840 million square feet of U.S. commercial building space each year.
