Manufacturer’s notes
Energy Star The Fujitsu Siemens LCD colour monitor 383V FA is designed to conserve
electricity by dropping to less than 3 W when it goes into standby,
suspend and OFF mode. With this new power management the 383V FA
qualifies for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy
Star Computers award.
The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5% percent of all business electricity and that
this is growing rapidly. If all desktop computers and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in
use, the overall savings in electricity could amount to $ 2 thousand million annually. These savings
could also prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the
equivalent of 5 million automobiles.
