Instructions
The federal government’s Energy Star program offers a free download that enables your monitor to sleep when you’re not using your computer.
If you are using Windows, access the Energy Star Web site, then click on the “EZ Wizard” link under “Software Tools.”
- Choose “To run EZ Wizard now, click here.” This will start the EZ Wizard download, which includes step-by-step pop-up windows that will appear on your monitor.
- Once you have run this software, your monitor will automatically fall into “sleep mode” whenever your computer is idle.
- To “wake” your computer, simply move your mouse or press any key on your keyboard and wait a few seconds.
If you are a Mac user, you already have the energy-saving software you need. Follow these steps to enable the sleep function:
- Go to the Apple pull-down menu and select “control panels” or “system preferences.”
- Then select “Energy Saver.” A pop-up window will appear allowing you to customize your settings.
Free Stress Sheep
Follow the instructions above. After you’ve downloaded or enabled the sleep mode software, print this certificate, and bring it to the William Pitt Union Information Desk along with your Panther Card or University of Pittsburgh ID. The first 200 members of the Pitt community to bring this certificate to the WPU Information Desk will receive a free squeezable stress sheep as a token of our appreciation.
This program is sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Division of Facilities Management, and Computing Services and Systems Development.
