Putting the computer to sleep

Sleep is a power conservation feature of Macintosh PowerBook computers that reduces the amount of power the computer draws when it’s not being used. When the computer is in sleep, it has a darkened screen and appears to be off. A small green light flashes on the top of the display case when the computer is in sleep. (Note: The computer must be on in order for you to put it to sleep.)
