Initiating and exiting Hibernation

The system is set at the factory to initiate Hibernation after 1,080 minutes of inactivity when running on battery power or when the battery reaches a critical battery level.

NOTE: The system will not initiate Hibernation when running on external power.

NOTE: To reduce the risk of information loss, periodically save your work.

Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Options in Windows Control Panel.

To initiate Hibernation:

When the computer exits Hibernation, the power light turns on and your work returns to the screen where you stopped working.
