ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Motorola is committed to providing energy-efficient chargers and, in 2000, voluntarily signed the European Union's Code of Conduct for mobile phone power supplies. Motorola meets the EU Code of Conduct requirements for such products worldwide and, since signing this commitment, has reduced the average standby power of its chargers by at least 70 percent. The next EU Code of Conduct target of 0.25 watts for standby power of mobile phone chargers takes effect on 1 January 2009, and 31 percent of our current chargers meet it. After this date, all of our new chargers released to the market will meet it. In fact, all of our new charges will feature standby power rates of 0.1 watts, with some even lower.

Selectable software settings for energy savings are available in this product. This product also includes software to remind the customer to unplug their charger from the wall to save power while not in use.
