work returns instantly to the screen when you resume from
Standby. Unless it has been frequently charged and discharged,
a new, fully charged battery pack can support Standby for
several days.
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. A fully charged battery pack can
support Hibernation indefinitely, or as long as the hard drive
remains in good condition.
If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for
more than 2 weeks:
Shutting down the notebook and removing
the battery pack is recommended to extend the life of the battery
pack. For details on battery pack storage, refer on this CD to the
