Compaq 4103TH manual Putting Your Computer to Sleep, Waking Your Computer

Page 21

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 programmes while your computer goes into a low-power state, which saves energy. However, some software—such as DVD software actively playing a DVD— may prevent the system from going to sleep.

Tip

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