Chapter 4 Using Your Motion Tablet PC

MODES
•Stand by — Greatly reduces Tablet PC power consumption and restarts within a few seconds; the Tablet PC runs on battery if not connected to AC power. Choose Stand by when you plan to return to work within a short time (a few minutes to a few hours) and want to conserve power.
•Hibernate — Completely shuts down the Tablet PC to conserve power. It takes slightly longer to restart from Hibernate than from Stand by mode. Choose Hibernate when you plan to stop work for longer periods of time, such as overnight. This setting saves the status of the Tablet PC system to the hard disk drive.
