The Importance of Hibernation Mode

Hibernation mode conserves battery life and protects your data. Hibernation can be a routine power-saving event or the result of a low battery. As your computer enters Hibernation, it automatically saves the content of your computer memory to the hard drive before it turns off.

Your computer will automatically enter Hibernation mode when the battery has little power left or when your computer (operating on battery power) has been in Sleep mode for more than one hour. You can also activate Hibernation mode by pressing the Power button once.

To restart your computer, press the Power button once. While your computer enters or wakes from Hibernation mode, it displays a Progress window.

+NOTE: If you are using battery power, your computer will automatically enter Hibernation mode after one hour in Sleep mode.
