ENERGY STAR® Compliance
Your Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PC. By choosing a computer with the latest
energy-saving technology, you’re helping to preserve our environment for future generations.
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy,
Natural Resources Canada, and other governments around the world helping us save money while
protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. With energy costs and global warming
top-of-mind for consumers, Fujitsu is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy and
improve the quality of our environment.
Sleep Mode:
You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of user inactivity, and the
computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When going into Sleep mode, the computer also
reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network links. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the
Suspend/Resume Button.
Energy saving benefits:
Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment – saving half in
utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the
average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every
time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more
greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more
we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.
