REACH - Compliance Statement
The new European Union (EU) chemical regulation, REACH (Registration,
Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), entered into force
on 1 June 2007. Toshiba will meet all REACH requirements and is
committed to provide our customers with information about the chemical
substances in our products according to REACH regulation.
Please consult the following website
http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/info/reach for information about
the presence in our articles of substances included on the candidate list
according to article 59(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 („REACH“) in a
concentration above 0.1% weight by weight.
Your computer model may be Energy Star
®
qualified. If the model you
purchased is qualified, it is labeled with the ENERGY STAR logo on the
computer and the following information applies.
TOSHIBA is a partner in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)
Energy Star Program and has designed this computer to meet the latest
Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency. Your computer ships with the
power management options preset to a configuration that will provide the
most stable operating environment and optimum system performance for
both AC power and battery modes.
To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-power Sleep
Mode which shuts down the system and display within 15 minutes of
inactivity in AC power mode. We recommend that you leave this and other
energy saving features active, so that your computer will operate at its
maximum energy efficiency. You can wake the computer from Sleep Mode
by pressing the power button.
According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new ENERGY STAR
specifications will use between 20% and 50% less energy depending on
how it is used. If all U.S. household and businesses replaced old
computers with new ENERGY STAR qualified models, we would save
more than $1.8 billion in energy costs over the next five years and avoid
greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to more than 2.7 million cars.If every
computer purchased by businesses next year met the new ENERGY STAR
requirements, businesses would save more than $210 million over the
lifetime of those models. That is equivalent to lighting 120 million square
feet of U.S. commercial building space each year.
