to turn off specific devices, your computer has two distinct power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate. | |||

| When using battery power, you should be aware that the computer automatically enters Hibernate mode | ||
| when the remaining battery charge drops below 7 percent, regardless of the power management setting | ||

If the battery level falls below 10 percent, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a | |||
| fully charged battery. |

Using Normal mode
This is the normal state of your computer when it is in use. The green power indicator light is on in this mode. To save power, you can turn off a specific device such as the LCD or the hard disk.
