Notebook PC User Manual

Sleep and Hibernate

Power management settings

can be found in the Windows

> Control Panel > Hardware

and Sound > Power Options. In

Power Options, you can deﬁne

“Sleep/Hibernate” or “Shut Down”

for closing the display panel

or pressing the power button.

“Sleep” and “Hibernate” saves power when your Notebook PC is not

in use by turning OFF certain components. When you resume your

work, your last status (such as a document scrolled down half way or

email typed half way) will reappear as if you never left. “Shut Down”

will close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any

are not saved.

Power Management Modes

The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power

saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these

features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power

management settings are made through the operating system.

The power management features are designed to save as much

electricity as possible by putting components into a low power

consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full operation

on demand.

Sleep is the same as Suspend-to-

RAM (STR). This function stores

your current data and status in

RAM while many components

are turned OFF. Because RAM

is volatile, it requires power to

keep (refresh) the data. Click

the Windows button and the

arrowhead next to the lock icon

to see this option. You can also use the keyboard shortcut [Fn F1]

to activate this mode. Recover by pressing any keyboard key except

[Fn]. (NOTE: The power indicator will blink in this mode.)
