Power Choosing Standby, Hibernation or Shutdown When You Leave Your Work If you plan to resume shortly: Initiating Standby clears the screen, uses less power than leaving the tablet PC on, and your work returns quickly to the screen when you resume from Standby. A fully charged new battery pack can support Standby for up to 3 days. A battery pack that has been frequently charged and discharged will support Standby for less time. If you plan to resume within 2 weeks: Initiating 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 tablet PC. A fully charged battery pack supports Hibernation for up to 3 months. If the tablet PC will be disconnected from external power for more than 1 month: Shutting down the tablet PC and removing the battery pack extends the useful life of the battery pack. Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. For more battery pack storage information, refer on this CD to the Hardware Guide, "Battery Packs" chapter, "Storing a Battery Pack." When the Power Supply Is Uncertain If power is interrupted while the tablet PC is in Standby, your unsaved work is saved for up to 1 minute. Any data not saved during this time will be lost. If power is interrupted while the tablet PC is in Hibernation, your unsaved work is protected. Power may be interrupted if the tablet PC is running on external power from an unreliable power source, on battery power from a failing battery pack, or during battery pack replacement. If you pause your work when the power supply is uncertain, Compaq recommends that you initiate Hibernation or shut down the tablet PC. 1-4 Software Guide
