Using Hibernate

Hibernation is a state in which the tablet shuts down to save power but first saves everything in memory on the hard disk. When you restart the tablet, your desktop is restored exactly as you left it. Use hibernation to save power when you will be away from the tablet for an extended time.

Hibernation has the following advantages over Standby:

•Hibernate saves the state of the desktop and applications.

•Hibernate consumes no battery power.

•When you return from the Hibernate state, you return to where you were when you entered hibernation.

To put the computer on Hibernate

1.Open Motion Dashboard to the Power panel (page 20).

2.For Power Switch will, select Hibernate.

3.To put the computer on Hibernate, press the power switch.

To turn the computer back on, press the power switch.
