Apple AppleVision 1710AV - Manual (Page 36)

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 anything you type or do with the mouse
affect any of your work.
To “wake up” the display, move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard.
Your computer beeps while the display is waking up—about 20 seconds—
and you can begin work as soon as the computer stops beeping. (The beep
volume cannot be adjusted; it is independent of all system sound controls.)
IMPORTANT The Energy Saver control panel works with Apple displays (such
as this one) that comply with the EPA’s Energy Star program and any other
display that complies with the Video Electronics Standards Association’s
Display Power Management Standard. Other displays will darken after the
specified inactivity period has passed, but they won’t save energy.
Using Energy Saver with a screen saver
Screen savers are programs you can purchase that put moving patterns on
your display. Both screen saver programs and the Energy Saver control panel
prevent screen “burn-in.” Energy Saver also conserves energy.
If you wish, you can use both Energy Saver and a screen saver program. Set
the screen saver to come on before Energy Saver. If your screen saver
program includes its own energy-saving feature, you can remove Energy Saver
from the Control Panels folder.
