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.
During 2008, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR
®
, saved
about $19 billion dollars on their utility bills and avoided
greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 29 million
vehicles.

Program.
This computer is compatible with European Union Directive
2002/95/EC, Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances
in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS), which restricts use of
lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
Toshiba requires its computer component suppliers to meet RoHS
requirements and verifies its suppliers’ commitment to meeting
RoHS requirements by conducting component sampling inspections
during the product design approval process.
