Using Sleep Mode

In Sleep mode, all unnecessary devices of your VAIO computer are turned off, though some

devices stay on to retain the computer’s state including data you are working on. Sleep

mode is useful when you take a short rest, for example.

With the default Sleep mode settings, Rapid Wake is enabled and the computer’s state is

saved to the built-in storage device.

To activate Sleep mode

1. Open the charms [Details] and select the Settings charm.

2. Select Power and Sleep.

The power indicator light turns off when your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode.

Hint

By default, your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode automatically after about 30

minutes of inactivity while running on AC power.

The operations below also place your VAIO computer into Sleep mode.

Press the (Power) button (with the default setting).

Note that if you press and hold down the (Power) button for more than four

seconds, your VAIO computer will turn off automatically. Doing this will erase all

unsaved data.

Close the LCD screen lid and leave the computer unused for a few seconds.

To return to Normal mode

1. Press the (Power) button.

Note

By default, your VAIO computer automatically enters Hibernate mode when the battery

pack is running out of power. However, depending on the operating conditions, the

computer may fail to enter Hibernate mode.

If this occurs and the battery pack is running out of power, the computer will be turned

off, resulting in loss of unsaved data.

While the computer is running on battery power, save data frequently.

Before moving your VAIO computer, make sure that the power indicator light is off to

avoid impact or vibration to the running hard disk drive.

Hint

If you press and hold down the (Power) button for more than four seconds, your VAIO

computer will turn off automatically. Doing this will erase all unsaved data.

You can set to restore your VAIO computer from Sleep mode to Normal mode by

opening the LCD screen lid.

To change the action when you open the lid, start VAIO Control Center [Details] and

change the settings in Power and Battery.
