Power Choosing Standby, Hibernation or Shutdown Your choice of Standby, Hibernation, or shutdown will depend on how you work. 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. A fully charged new battery pack can typically support Standby for up to 48 hours and Hibernation for several weeks. When Resuming After a Short Interval Initiate Standby for shorter intervals of inactivity and Hibernation for longer intervals or for more power conservation. ■ Initiating Standby clears the screen and uses less power than leaving the notebook on, and your work returns quickly to the screen when you resume from Standby. ■ Initiating Hibernation clears the screen and uses much less power than Standby. Returning to work saved in Hibernation takes longer than returning to work saved in Standby, but it is faster than returning to your place manually after restarting the notebook. When Resuming After a Week or More If the notebook will be idle for a week or more, shut down the notebook to extend the life of an inserted battery pack. If you remove the battery pack during this time, store it in a cool, dry location. When External Power Supply Is Disrupted or Uncertain If an external power supply is uncertain or disrupted-for example, because of an electrical storm-save your work, and then initiate Hibernation or shut down the notebook. 1-4 Software Guide
