Using Power Saving Modes

When you use a battery as the source of power for your computer, you can take advantage of power management settings to conserve battery life. In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn off specific devices, your computer has two distinct power saving modes: System Suspend and System Hibernation. When using battery power, you should be aware that the computer automatically enters System Hibernation mode when the remaining battery charge drops below 7%, regardless of the power management setting you select.

If your battery level falls to less than 10%, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully charged battery.

Normal Mode

This is the normal state of your computer when it is in use. The green power indicator light is on in this mode. To save power, you can turn off a specific device such as the LCD or the hard disk.

For details, see “Controlling Power Management” on page 45.

System Suspend Mode

The computer saves the current state of the system in RAM and switches off power to the CPU. The amber power indicator light flashes in this mode.

To activate System Suspend mode

Press Fn+Esc, or you can slide the power switch forward and release the switch immediately. You can also use the PowerPanel utility to enter System Suspend mode.

To return to normal mode

Press any key.
