Power management To reduce power consumption, the computer has three power management modes: screen blank, standby, and hibernation. Screen blank mode If the time set on the "Turn off monitor" timer in the operating system expires, the LCD backlight turns off. To put the computer into screen blank mode, press the ThinkVantage button and use the ThinkVantage Productivity Center. To end screen blank mode and resume normal operation, press any key. Standby mode When the computer enters standby mode, the following events occur in addition to what occurs in screen blank mode: v The LCD is powered off. v The hard disk drive is powered off. v The CPU stops. To enter standby mode, press Fn+F4. Note: If you are using the ACPI operating system, you can change the action of Fn+F4. In certain circumstances, the computer goes into standby mode automatically: v If a "suspend time" has been set on the timer, and the user does not do any operation with the keyboard, the TrackPoint®, the hard disk, the parallel connector, or the diskette drive within that time. v If the battery indicator blinks orange, indicating that the battery power is low. (Alternatively, if Hibernate when battery becomes low has been selected in the "Power Management Properties" window, the computer goes into hibernation mode.) Note for the APM operating system: Even if you do not set the low-battery alarm, the charge indicator notifies you when the battery is low, and then the computer enters the power-saving mode automatically. This default low-battery behavior is independent of the operating system; so if you have set the low-battery alarm, the computer may not do what you specified. It chooses either your setting or the default setting, whichever is appropriate. If you are using the ACPI operating system, only the low-battery alarm is available. General descriptions 25
