3 Power management
Setting power options
Using power-saving states
The computer has two power-saving states enabled at the factory: Standby and Hibernation.
When Standby is initiated, the power light blinks and the screen clears. Your work is saved to
memory. Exiting Standby is faster than exiting Hibernation. If the computer is in the Standby state for
an extended period or if the battery reaches a critical battery level while in the Standby state, the
computer initiates Hibernation.
When Hibernation is initiated, your work is saved to a hibernation file on the hard drive and the
computer turns off.
CAUTION: To prevent possible audio and video degradation, loss of audio or video playback
functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Standby or Hibernation while reading from or writing
to a disc or an external media card.
NOTE: You cannot initiate any type of networking connection or perform any computer functions
while the computer is in the Standby state or in Hibernation.
Initiating and exiting Standby
The system is set at the factory to initiate Standby after 10 minutes of inactivity when running on
battery power and 25 minutes of inactivity when running on external power.
Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Options in Windows Control Panel.
With the computer on, you can initiate Standby in any of the following ways:
● Close the display.
● Click Start > Turn Off Computer > Stand By.
NOTE: If you have been registered to a network domain, the button you click is called Shut
Down instead of Turn Off Computer.
To exit Standby:
● Briefly slide the power switch.
When the computer exits Standby, the power light turns on and your work returns to the screen where
you stopped working.
