Understanding Power Management

Power management lets you reduce your Notebook power consumption. Your Notebook has two power management modes:

•Hibernation saves information to the hard drive and then turns off your Notebook. Your Notebook hibernates when the Power button is pressed, when the battery has little power left, or when your Notebook (operating on battery power) is in Sleep mode for more than one hour.

•Sleep, also called Standby, puts your Notebook in low-power mode. It is still on, but the display appears blank.

ÄCaution: Although Sleep mode maintains system information and open files, you will lose any unsaved information if you turn off your Notebook before you end the Sleep mode.
