the panel is opened. You can specify the setting in

 

 

the Power Options.

When battery power is exhausted to the point that

 

Automatic

computer operation cannot be continued, the

system automatically enters Hibernation Mode

 

 

and shuts itself down. You can specify the setting

Hibernation

This feature lets you turn off your computer

 

 

without exiting from your software. The contents

 

 

of the main memory are saved to the hard disk.

continue working right where you left off.
