IMPORTANT If you use Energy Saver, make sure you turn it off when
you’re doing disk-i ntensive tasks such as copying a large number of files,
downloadi ng large files from an online ser vice, or pri nting a very large file.
If En ergy Saver is activated d uring a disk-intensive task, the task may be
terminated prematurely a nd you may need to recopy or reprint a file.
Wh at happens after you t urn on the e nergy -saving feature?
When E nergy Saver detects that you’re not using the computer, it darkens th e
monitor screen and reduces the amount of energy it consumes. While the
monitor is darkened, your computer is still worki ng, but to avoid accidental
ch anges, Ene rgy Saver won’t let anythi ng you type or do with the mouse
affect any of your work.
To “wake up” the monitor, press any key on the keyboard. Your computer
beeps while the monitor is waking up—about 10 seconds—and you can begin
work as soon as the computer stops beeping. (The beep volume cannot b e
adjusted; it is independent of all system sound controls.)
Usin g Ene rgy Saver wit h a screen saver
Screen savers are applications you can purchase that put moving patter ns on
your monitor. Screen saver and En ergy Saver applications prevent screen
“bur n-in.” E nergy Saver also conserves energy.
If you wish, you can use Energy Saver and a screen saver program. Set the
screen saver to come on before E nergy Saver. If your screen saver program
includes its own energy-saving feature, you ca n turn off En ergy Saver.
