Agency labels are on the back of the computer. For examples of typical agency labels, refer to the Safety section.

Energy Star Compliance

The Energy Star logo is your assurance that your computer is in compliance with the EPA Energy Star Computers Program 2.0 guidelines for energy efficiency. Your computer may not meet these guidelines if it is not marked with the Energy Star logo.

Compaq Internet PC products marked with the Energy Star Logo are compliant with Energy Star Computers Program 2.0 standard of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA Energy Star Logo does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an Energy Star Partner, Compaq Computer Corporation has determined that products marked with the Energy Star Logo meet the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

The Energy Star Computers Program was created by the EPA to promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories. Compaq products achieve this standard by reducing power consumption when not being used. Instructions for using the energy saving features of your computer are located in the power management section of the documentation that came with your computer.

The power management feature of your computer is supported when used with the following operating system: Microsoft Windows Operating System.

The power management feature, when used in conjunction with an external Energy Star compliant monitor, will support the power-down features of the monitor. The power management feature allows an external monitor to go into low-power mode when the screen saver timeout occurs. To take advantage of these energy savings, the monitor’s power management feature has been preset to power down the monitor after a period of system inactivity. Refer to the power management section of the documentation that came with your computer for instructions on modifying or disabling this feature.

€CAUTION: Using the Energy Save Monitor feature with non-Energy Star compliant monitors may cause video distortion when the screen saver timeout occurs.

€CAUTION: The power management feature is not compatible with some non-Compaq bus-mastering ISA devices. Using the power management feature with some of these devices may cause errors when the system is placed in the low power state.
