HIBERNATION/STANDBY

Hibernation is a state of no power consumption. When your Notebook enters the Hibernation mode, the memory contents are saved to the hard disk and your Notebook is powered off. Standby puts your Notebook in low power mode. It is still on, but the display appears blank.

￿Press and release the Power button once to enter Hibernation mode.
