Using power saving modes In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn off specific devices, your computer has two distinct power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate. Use the Standby and Hibernate power saving modes to override a profile setting or initiate an immediate action.  Standby - Saves the state of the system and peripheral devices in memory (RAM). Power consumption is reduced to a minimum. The system remains on, and the computer screen (LCD) is off.  Hibernate - Saves the state of the system and peripheral devices to the hard disk. Power consumption is reduced to the lowest possible setting without being completely off. Hibernate mode consumes the lowest level of power. Your computer enters Hibernate mode when the remaining battery charge drops below 5 percent, regardless of the setting you select. Since some software programs and peripheral devices prevent the system from entering Hibernate mode, save your data frequently to avoid data loss. To activate Standby mode 1. Press the Fn and Esc keys. The power indicator blinks in this mode. 2. Press any key to return to normal mode. To activate Hibernate mode 1. Press the Fn and F12 keys, or move the power switch to the right and release it immediately. Do not move the computer until the power indicator turns off. 2. Move the power switch to the right to return to normal mode. If the computer does not activate Hibernate mode, see Frequently asked questions for more information. Page 15

power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate. Use the Standby and Hibernate power saving modes to override a profile

setting or initiate an immediate action.



to a minimum. The system remains on, and the computer screen (LCD) is off.

to the lowest possible setting without being completely off. Hibernate mode consumes the lowest level of power.
