Understanding Power Management
Power management lets you reduce your Notebook
power consumption. Your Notebook has two
power management modes:
•Hibernation saves information to the hard drive and then
turns off your Notebook. Your Notebook hibernates when
the Power button is pressed, when the battery has little
power left, or when your Notebook (operating on battery
power) is in Sleep mode for more than one hour.
•Sleep, also called Standby, puts your Notebook in low-power
mode. It is still on, but the display appears blank.
<Caution: Although Sleep mode maintains system information and
open files, you will lose any unsaved information if you turn off
your Notebook before you end the Sleep mode.
