Initiating and exiting Hibernation

The system is set at the factory to initiate Hibernation after a period of inactivity when running on battery power or on external power, or when the battery reaches a critical battery level.

Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Options in Windows Control Panel.

To initiate Hibernation:

Tap Start, tap the arrow next to the Shut down button, and then tap Hibernate. To exit Hibernation:

Briefly slide the power switch down.

When the Slate exits Hibernation, your work returns to the screen where you stopped working.

NOTE: If you have set a password to be required when the Slate exits Hibernation, you must enter your Windows password before your work returns to the screen.
