you can put the computer in Sleep mode by pressing
When you are ready to use the computer again, unlatch and open the display, and press and release the power switch. If the power indicator is off, the computer has entered Hibernation mode and turned off.

What to bring to short meetings
A fully charged battery runs the computer for about 3.5 hours under most circumstances. If your meeting is shorter than that, you probably do not need to bring anything with you other than the computer.
What to bring to long meetings
If your meeting will last longer than 3.5 hours or if your battery is not fully charged, you may want to bring the AC adapter with you to plug in your computer in the meeting room.
If the meeting room does not have an electrical outlet, reduce the drain on the battery by putting the computer in Sleep mode. Press Fn- F4 or close the display cover whenever you are not actively using the computer. Then tap any key or open the display to resume.

Preparing the computer
After disconnecting the computer from your desktop, follow these steps to prepare the computer for the trip home:
•Check if you have removed all media, diskettes and compact discs, from the drive(s). Failure to remove the media can damage the drive head.
•Pack the computer in a protective case that can prevent the computer from sliding around and cushion it if it should fall.
