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®

zWhen 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.

zIf 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.

zSpending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves

energy, but helps equipment run cooler and last longer.

zBusinesses that use ENERGY STAR®enabled office equipment may

realize additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.

zOver 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.

zPower 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.
