WARNING
Do not attempt to disassemble your notebook computer. Doing so may void

NOTE
The information in this manual is subject to change without notice.
ENERGY STAR®is a government program that offers businesses and
consumers energy-efficient solutions, making it easy to save money while
protecting the environment for future generations.
Please reference ENERGY STAR®related information from
www.energystar.gov.
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, MiTAC Technology Corporation has
determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR®guidelines for
energy efficiency.
An ENERGY STAR®qualified computer uses 70 % less electricity than
computers without enabled power management features.
Earning the ENERGY STAR®
When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the
ENERGY STAR®, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of
greenhouse gases out of the air.
If left inactive, ENERGY STAR®qualified computers enter a
low-power mode and may use 15 watts or less. New chip
technologies make power management features more reliable,
dependable, and user-friendly than even just a few years ago.
Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves
energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer.
Businesses that use ENERGY STAR®enabled office equipment may
realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.
Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR®qualified equipment in a single
home office (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save
enough electricity to light an entire home for more than 4 years.
Power management (“sleep settings”) on computers and monitors can
result in much savings annually.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution
Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power
management features are important for saving energy and are an easy way
to reduce air pollution. By using less energy, these products help lower
consumers’ utility bills, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
