an extended period or if the battery reaches a critical battery level while in the Sleep state, the computer
initiates Hibernation.
When Hibernation is initiated, your work is saved to a hibernation file on the hard drive and the computer
turns off.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible audio and video degradation, loss of audio or video playback
functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Sleep or Hibernation while reading from or writing to
a disc or an external media card.
NOTE:
You cannot initiate any type of networking connection or perform any computer functions while
the computer is in the Sleep state or in Hibernation.
