Power Leaving Your Work If you plan to resume shortly-Initiate standby for shorter times and hibernation for longer times or for power conservation. The amount of time a battery pack can support standby or hibernation or hold a charge varies by notebook configuration and the condition of the battery pack. Standby requires more power than hibernation. If you plan to resume within 2 weeks-Shut down the notebook. If possible, connect the notebook to external power to keep an inserted battery pack fully charged. If the notebook will be unused and disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks-Shut down the notebook. To extend the life of an inserted battery pack, remove the battery pack and store it in a cool, dry location. If an external power supply is uncertain-Initiate hibernation or shut down the notebook. A power supply may become uncertain because of such conditions as an electrical storm or a nearly discharged battery pack. Interference with Drive Media To prevent the loss of playback or playback quality, do not initiate standby or hibernation while playing a drive medium. If standby or hibernation is initiated while a drive medium such as a CD or DVD is in use, you may see the warning message "Putting the computer into hibernation or standby may stop the playback. Do you want to continue?" If the message is displayed, select No. After you select No: ■ Playback may resume. - or - ■ Playback may stop and the screen may be cleared. To return to your work, press the power button and then restart the disc. 3-6 Hardware and Software Guide
