Exposure to Radio Frequency

Wireless radios and Bluetooth devices emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy like other radio devices. While the level of energy is less than other wireless devices (such

as mobile phones), you are advised to use the wireless equipment in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity Computer (Internal) HDD Capacity

The HDD capacity on VIZIO computers may appear to be smaller than the size stated in the product specifications, documentation or on the packaging. This is because manufacturers describe and advertise HDD space in terms of decimal capacity, a base of powers of 10. For example, one Gigabyte (GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes.

However, Microsoft® Windows and other operating systems and programs report storage capacity using powers of two. Thus, 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and shows less storage space. Smaller capacity may also be reported by the Windows Explorer tool based on information about only one partition of the HDD at a time, with free space reduced by a hidden service or system recovery partition. Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software applications or media content. The storage capacity of the HDD is as advertised but the actual formatted capacity may vary.

ENERGY STAR®

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program is a joint effort between the EPA and manufacturers to promote energy-efficient products. Any VIZIO product bearing the ENERGY STAR emblem on the product or during a start-up screen has been certified to comply with the EPA ENERGY STAR requirements as shipped by VIZIO.

The Power Management feature enables the computer to enter a low-power (or “sleep”) mode after a period of

inactivity. To take advantage of this energy savings, the Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer and monitor after the following specified periods of inactivity:

	Operating	Computer	Monitor
	System
On Battery	Windows 7	10 minutes	2 minutes
Plugged In	Windows 7	15 minutes	5 minutes

Both the computer and monitor can be woken from sleep mode through user interaction with any of the computer input devices (mouse, keyboard, and so on). You can help reduce electricity usage by shutting down your computer when it is not in use for longer periods of time, such as at night and on weekends.

Screen Savers and Power Settings

Screen savers may prevent your computer from going to sleep and as a result waste power. Screen savers may also reduce the life of your monitor by increasing the number of hours the LCD backlight is on. The power settings of your computer are set to minimize energy use while maintaining optimal performance. Because of this VIZIO recommends that you do not disable the power settings.

Reduced Paper Use

For some products,VIZIO provides online-only user manuals. This enables us to reduce our carbon footprint and cut down on paper waste. It also allows us to make frequent product updates, and ensures that you always have the most recent product information. Products with an online- only user manual are packaged with a printed Quick Start Guide to help you get up and running quickly.
