Putting the Computer to Sleep
Sleep is a power conservation feature of Macintosh PowerBook computers that lets you
quickly wake the computer and bypass the startup process. You can extend the period of
time your battery will power the computer by putting the PowerBook to sleep when you
won’t be using it for several minutes or more. The length of time the computer can be left in
sleep depends on how much charge is left in the battery.
When the computer is in sleep, it has a darkened screen and appears to be off. A small green
light flashes on the case when the computer is in sleep.
To put the computer to sleep, follow these instructions:
1 Press the Power button (®).
The following dialog box appears.
2 Click the Sleep button.
You can also put your computer to sleep by doing one of the following:
m closing the display
m choosing Sleep from the Special menu
m clicking the Energy Settings icon in the Control Strip and choosing Sleep Now from the
menu that appears
3 To wake the computer, press the Power button (®) or any key on the keyboard (except for
the
fn key.)
The screen reappears as it was before the computer went to sleep.
Note: To decrease the time it takes for the computer to wake up from sleep, turn off
AppleTalk. For more information, see the online help, available in the Help menu.
Warning Once you put your computer to sleep, listen for the hard disk to stop spinning
before you move your PowerBook. Moving your computer while the hard disk is spinning
can damage your computer.
