Power Management
Selecting Standby, Hibernation or Shutdown
If you plan to resume shortly—Initiate Standby. Standby clears the screen, uses less power than leaving the notebook on, and your work returns instantly to the screen when you exit Standby. A fully charged new battery pack can support Standby for at least two days. A battery pack that has been frequently charged and discharged will support Standby for less time.
If you plan to resume within one week—Initiate Hibernation. Hibernation clears the screen, saves your work to the hard drive, and uses much less power than Standby. Returning to work saved in Hibernation takes longer than returning to work saved in Standby, but is faster than returning to your place manually after restarting the notebook. A fully charged battery pack supports Hibernation indefinitely.
If the notebook will be disconnected from external power for more than one week—Recharge the battery pack before using it to run the notebook.
Using Hibernation or Standby While Playing Media
ÄCAUTION: To prevent possible video degradation and loss of audio or video playback functionality, do not initiate Standby or Hibernation while playing media.
If you are playing a medium in an optional drive, turn off the medium before initiating Standby or Hibernation.
If Standby or Hibernation is accidentally initiated while a medium is playing:
1.Exit Standby or Hibernation.
2.Restart the notebook.
