Customizing Your VAIO Computer

Using the Power Saving Modes

In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn off specific devices, your computer has two distinct power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate.

The color of the power indicator light behind the power button tells you which mode the computer is in.
