Conserving energy

Use the Energy Saver control panel to tell the display whether to conserve
energy after a specified period of inactivity.

You can use the control panel with your AppleVision 1710

AV

Display or any

other Apple display that complies with the United States Environmental
Protection Agency’s Energy Star program. (Look for the EPA Energy Star
logo on the display box.)

Note: When you save energy, you save natural resources and reduce pollution.
Although the AppleVision 1710

AV

Display contains features that automatically

save energy, you can increase the energy savings by turning the computer off
if you won’t be using it for a while—for example, overnight or over the
weekend.

To use the control panel, follow these steps:

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K

) menu.

A window opens showing all the control panels.
