Power-saving Features
The ActionNote complies with the United States
Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program,
which prom otes the manufacture of energy-efficient printers,
computers, and monitors. Your computer’s power
management features place the system in low-power standby
and suspend modes when it has been inactive for specified
periods of time. The System Configuration utility lets you
customize the way your computer saves power so you can
ensure that the power management features fit the way you
work.
Note
If you use an Energy Star compliant external monitor with
your computer, it also enters a low-power standby mode
because it is not receiving video signals from your computer.
(Screens on non-compliant monitors become blank but do
not enter a low-power mode.)
