named “TCO 95 Information” on the Apple Displays Software CD.
What Happens After You Turn On the Energy-Saving Feature?
When Energy Saver detects that you’re not using the computer, it darkens the display screen
and reduces the amount of energy it consumes. While the display is darkened, your
computer is still working, but to avoid accidental changes, Energy Saver won’t let any typing
or mouse movement affect your work.
To “wake up” the display, press any key on the keyboard. Your computer may beep while the
display is waking up.
Setting Up Energy Saver
To use the Energy Saver control panel, follow these steps:
1 Open the Apple (K) menu and choose Energy Saver from the Control Panels folder. (On
some PowerBooks, this control panel is called the PowerBook control panel.)
The Energy Saver control panel appears.
2 Make your choices in the control panel:
Important
If you use Energy Saver, make sure you turn it off when you’re doing disk-
intensive tasks such as copying a large number of files, downloading large files from an
online service, or printing a very large file. If Energy Saver is activated during a disk-intensive
task, the task may be terminated prematurely and you may need to recopy or reprint a file.
To have the display sleep
(so the screen becomes
dim) when the computer
has been idle for a
specified period of time,
make sure this checkbox
is blank.
Slide this control to determine
how long Energy Saver will
wait without activity before
putting the system to sleep.
