If you’re going to be away
from your computer but
want to leave the power on,
you can let your computer
go to sleep. This process
allows you to run programs
while your computer goes
into a low-power state,
which saves energy.
However, some software
(such as DVD software)
might disable the sleep
mode.

You can wake your computer
by moving the mouse, by
clicking a mouse button, or by
pressing any of the keyboard
buttons.

You can change the amount of
time that passes before your
computer goes to sleep. See the
Learning More
guide CD for
instructions.
