Power Enabling or Disabling Hibernation Hibernation is enabled by default but can be disabled. To prevent loss of work when the notebook is in Windows and reaches a critical low-battery condition, disable hibernation only during a battery pack calibration. » To verify that hibernation is enabled, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options icon > Hibernate tab. If hibernation is enabled, the Enable hibernation check box is selected. Leaving Your Work If you are working in Windows and 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 from Windows. 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 from Windows. 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.) Hardware and Software Guide 3-9
