Conserving Power
Things to Remember

page 10)
Adjust the brightness (dark) with

, 
(

Before stepping away from your computer, press 
+
to put your computer in the standby mode
The standby mode helps you conserve power by cutting off power to LCD etc.. To resume, you may press any key.
In the power management mode, the setting of [Advanced] is recommended (
page 13)
With the Setup Utility, you can set the [Advanced] mode. This mode allows you to maximize power save regardless of whether you are using only the battery pack or the AC adapter.
Setting the hibernation timeout (
page 13)
The hibernation function (
page 11) allows you to save power by automatically cutting off power when the computer is idle or there is no access to individual devices for 4 or 16 minutes. If [Advanced] or [Standard (Battery/AC adapter)] is selected for [Power Saving], the hibernation timeout function will go into effect for both the battery pack and the AC adapter. If, however, [Standard (Battery)] is selected for [Power Saving], it will go into effect only during operation by the battery. The standby timeout function is automatically set when [Advanced] or [Standard] is set. Note that the standby timeout precedes the hibernation timeout.
It should be noted that for some applications, the hibernation timeout will not work properly.
N O T E
If you plan to use only the battery pack or set the power management, it is necessary to
check 
[Allow Windows to manage power use on this computer] in [Start] - [Set- tings] - [Control Panel] - [Power]. If no check is added, the hibernation timeout will not occur.
