Is the Notebook in Standby or Hibernation?

Standby and Hibernation are energy-saving features that may initiate while the notebook is turned on but not in use.

■When Hibernation is initiated, the power/standby light 1 turns off and the notebook saves your work to the hard drive, then shuts down. To exit Hibernation, briefly press the power button 2.

■When Standby is initiated, the power/standby light 1 blinks and the notebook saves your work in Random Access Memory (RAM), then clears the screen. To exit Standby, briefly press the power button 2.

For more information about Standby and Hibernation, refer on the Documentation Library CD to the Software Guide, “Power” section.
