Power

To determine whether the computer is in hibernation or turned off, press the power button.

■If the computer is in hibernation, your work is returned to the screen.

■If the computer is off, Windows loads.

When the computer is running on battery power, hibernation is initiated by default after 30 minutes of computer inactivity or whenever the computer reaches a critical low-battery condition.

Hibernation is enabled by default but can be disabled. To prevent loss of work during a critical low-battery condition, disable hibernation only during a battery pack calibration.

To be sure that hibernation is enabled:

»Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab. If hibernation is enabled, the Enable hibernation check box is selected.

To set the time interval after which the system initiates hibernation:

1.Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options.

2.Click one of the intervals in the System hibernates list.

Leaving Your Work

If you plan to resume shortly—Initiate standby for shorter times and hibernation for longer times or for power conservation.

The amount of time a battery pack can support standby or hibernation or hold a charge varies by computer configuration and the condition of the battery pack. Standby requires more power than hibernation.

If you plan to resume within 2 weeks—Shut down the computer. If possible, connect the computer to external power to keep an inserted battery pack fully charged.
