"Compaq.com - Compaq Presario 1200 Series Maintenance and Service Guide - Models: 1230 and 1232

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.
