Turn off computer and peripheral devices at end of day.
Use computer Control Panel settings to customise times
for ‘sleep’ mode, ‘stand-by’ mode and ‘hibernate’ mode.
Keep my computer operational for as long as possible;
only install essential software and hardware, and request
upgrades and repairs to avoid computer becoming
redundant.
(Where responsible for computer hardware) ensure
computers are sent to a computer recycling service when
no longer operational and cannot be repaired or
upgraded.
