Using power-saving states
The computer has one power-saving state which is enabled at the factory: Sleep.
When Sleep is initiated, the power light blinks and the screen clears. Your work is saved to memory.
If the computer is in the Sleep state for an extended period or if the battery reaches a critical battery
level while in the Sleep state, information is saved to the hard drive, and the computer shuts down.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible audio and video degradation, loss of audio or video playback
functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Sleep while reading from or writing to a disc or an
external media card.
