When a charged battery is in your Notebook, you can simply unplug it from AC power. Your Notebook automatically switches to battery power.

Hibernation is a state of no-power consumption. When your Notebook enters this mode, the contents of the memory are saved to the hard disk and your Notebook powers off.

Why Use AC Power When I’ve Got a Battery?

When you’re not on the go, you’ll want to use your Notebook’s AC adapter to supply power. This ensures that the battery is always charged.

When your Notebook does not have a charged battery, you should save your work and turn off your Notebook before unplugging it from the AC power supply.

Turning Your Notebook On and Off

To turn on your Notebook, press the Power ª button, which is located at the top of the keyboard.

To turn off your Notebook properly, complete the following steps:

1.Save your work and exit all open programs.

2.Click the Start button, then click Shut Down, and select the Shut down option.

3.Click the OK button. After a few seconds, your Notebook will turn off.

Note: If your Notebook is not responding, press and hold down the Power button until your Notebook shuts down.
