What you should know about ENERGY STAR®

If your system is equipped with the ENERGY STAR it will automatically shutdown after it has been inactive for 45 minutes to 2 hours. You must restart your system to be able to perform operations again - whether your system timed-out during the day or overnight. This restart process normally takes several minutes. The timeout period is required to meet energy star guidelines for energy efficiency.

What is ENERGY STAR

Energy star is the trusted, government-backed symbol for energy efficiency helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices. The energy star label was established to: 1) Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy; and 2) Make it easy for consumers to identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance, features, and comfort.
