Selecting Standby, Hibernation or Shutdown
If you plan to resume shortly
—Initiate Standby. Standby clears
the screen, uses less power than leaving the notebook on, and
your work returns instantly to the screen when you exit Standby.
A fully charged new battery pack can support Standby for at least
two days. A battery pack that has been frequently charged and
discharged will support Standby for less time.
If you plan to resume within one week
—Initiate Hibernation.
Hibernation clears the screen, saves your work to the hard drive,
and uses much less power than Standby. Returning to work saved
in Hibernation takes longer than returning to work saved in
Standby, but is faster than returning to your place manually after
restarting the notebook. A fully charged battery pack supports
Hibernation indefinitely.
If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for
more than one week
—Recharge the battery pack before using it
to run the notebook.
