EU Declaration of Conformity

TOSHIBA declares that this product conforms to the following Standards:

Supplementary
Information:

This product is carrying the CE-Mark in accordance with the related
European Directives. The party responsible for CE-Marking is TOSHIBA
Europe GmbH, Hammfelddamm 8, 41460 Neuss, Germany.

*The product complies with the
requirements of the Low Voltage
Directive 73/23/EEC, the EMC Directive
89/336/EEC and/or the R&TTE
Directive 1999/5/EC.

The European Union WEEE (Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) Directive Information

The European Union WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
Directive is intended to protect the quality of the environment and human health
through the responsible use of natural resources and the adoption of waste
management strategies that focus on recycling and reuse. This Directive requires
producers of electrical and electronic products put on the market in European
Union (EU) member countries after August 2005 to mark such products with a
crossed-out wheeled bin with a black bar symbol. If the product’s battery or
accumulator contains more than the specified values of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg),
and/or cadmium (Cd) defined in the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC), then the
chemical symbols for lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and/or cadmium (Cd) will appear
below the crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the battery.

Pb, Hg, Cd

In the European Union, these symbols indicate that when the last end user wishes
to discard this product, it must be sent to appropriate facilities for recovery and
recycling. This Directive applies to EU member countries only and does not
apply to end users in other countries such as the United States.

Although the initial emphasis is in Europe, Toshiba is already working with
design engineers, suppliers, and other partners to determine appropriate
worldwide product life cycle planning and end-of-life strategies for our products.
Please contact your local government for applicable laws and regulations
governing the disposal of this product. For information on how to trade-in or
recycle your product, visit www.reuse.toshiba.com.

guidelines for energy

Introduction

11

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.
See the “Mobile Computing” section of the Toshiba User’s Guide
for more information on using power management settings to
conserve computer energy.

According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new ENERGY

®

STAR

specifications will use between 30% and 60% less energy
depending on how it is used. If all U.S. households and businesses
replaced old computers with new ENERGY STAR

®

qualified
models, we would save more than $2 billion in energy costs each
year and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 3
million cars.

If every computer purchased by businesses this year met the new
ENERGY STAR

®

requirements, businesses would save more than
$1.6 billion over the lifetime of those models. That is equivalent to
lighting 840 million square feet of U.S. commercial building space
each year.

During 2008, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR

®

, saved
about $19 billion dollars on their utility bills and avoided
greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 29 million
vehicles.
