The following power management features are available for conserving AC power and extending battery operating time:

Power Management Settings

Power Management Settings

Depending on your patterns of computer use, you can set different levels of power management. These different power management levels can be activated based on the amount of time passed since the last system activity. System activity examples, include keyboard or mouse movement, CD or DVD playback (while under program control that monitors Sleep), and modem use.

You can select different conditions or power schemes through Power Management..The optional settings are Home/Office Desk, Portable/ Laptop and Always On. From the default settings, you can change the following settings.

the System goes to Sleep (Standby) mode

the screen times out and goes blank

the hard drive spins down

Each of these system components will go to sleep after the selected or default periods of inactivity. (The setting for hard drive must be less than or equal to the setting for System.)

IMPORTANT: If you're on a network, it's recommended that you set System Standby to Never.

There are five categories of power management settings under the Control Panel. The default setting for each feature is listed below in the tables.

Sleep

 

You can select Sleep mode instead of turning off the computer when you have finished using it. This allows the computer to wake up faster than turning it completely off and saves power over the active (On) mode. Compaq Presario Notebook computers have two levels of sleep, Hibernation and Sleep.

Hibernation - by pushing the power button once your computer will perform a save to disk followed by a shut down of the computer into Off mode.

Sleep - is a low power mode, also referred to as Standby mode. While in Sleep mode, your computer will maintain system information and open files. Unsaved information will be lost if you turn off your system prior to system wake-up, or if you lose power while using the AC adapter.

CAUTION: While in Sleep mode, your computer will maintain system information and open files. Unsaved information will be lost if you turn off your system prior to system wake- up, or if you lose power while using the AC adapter.

Hibernation Mode

Hibernation helps conserve battery life and protects your data. Hibernation can be a routine power saving event, or can be the result of a low battery condition. As it enters Hibernation, your computer will display a progress screen, as it automatically saves the machine state before it shuts down and turns itself off. Your computer will automatically go into Hibernation, when the battery has little power left, or when the system (operating on battery power) has been in Sleep mode for more than an hour. You can also manually initiate Hibernation by pressing the power button once while the system is active. To restore the computer's previous state, simply press the power button once again. While waking up, the computer will display a progress screen.

The following table shows the conditions and indicators for getting in and out of the various power management modes, Sleep, Hibernation and Off.

Servicing Your Computer - Full Off Mode

If you need to install or replace components in your system, you must turn the computer off completely. Follow the instructions above for properly putting the computer into Off mode, unplug from the outlet and remove the battery (see battery section for instruction on removing battery).

Rebooting After a Lockup

Occasionally you may encounter a frozen keyboard or a locked screen. To reboot your computer (as if from a cold start) press and hold down the Power Button for at least four seconds, which will cause a manual shutdown. Then, restart it with a single press of the Power Button. If it still doesn't recover, press the Power Button and hold it for four seconds to shut it down, then, remove the battery or unplug the AC power for at least 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery or reconnect AC power and press the Power Button once to reboot.

Battery Operating Time

Battery operating time is affected by variables, such as the following:

Power conservation settings

Hardware configuration

Software applications

Installed options

Display brightness

Hard drive usage

Power button

Changes in operating temperature

Type and number of installed PC Cards

For more information on increasing battery pack operating time, conditioning the battery pack, and disposing of a used battery pack, refer to the Battery Pack Operations.
