When you have finished working with your computer, you can put it to sleep
or shut it down.
 Putting your computer to sleep
If you will be away from your computer for only a short time, put the
computer to sleep.
When the computer is in sleep mode, you can quickly wake it to resume use,
bypassing the startup process.
To put the computer to sleep, do one of the following:
• Close the display lid.
• Press the power button.
• Open the charms, and then select Settings  Power  Sleep.
To wake the computer, do one of the following:
• Press any key on the keyboard.
• Press the power button.
Note: Wait until the power indicator light starts blinking (indicating that the computer is
in sleep mode) before you move your computer. Moving your computer while the
hard disk is spinning can damage the hard disk, causing loss of data.
Note: If the computer does not awaken after pressing a key on the keyboard, this means
that the computer has entered an enhanced power-saving mode.
