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, Getac 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®
When 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.
If 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.
Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy,
but helps equipment run cooler and last longer.
Businesses that use ENERGY STAR®enabled office equipment may realize
additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.

Over 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.
Power 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.
