3 Power management
Setting power options
Using power-saving states
The computer has two power-saving states enabled at the factory: Sleep and Hibernation.
When Sleep is initiated, the power light blinks and the screen clears. Your work is saved to memory.
Exiting Sleep is faster than exiting Hibernation. If the computer is in the Sleep state for an extended
period or if the battery reaches a critical battery level while in the Sleep state, the computer initiates
Hibernation.
When Hibernation is initiated, your work is saved to a hibernation file on the hard drive and the
computer turns off.
CAUTION: To prevent possible audio and video degradation, loss of audio or video playback
functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Sleep or Hibernation while reading from or writing to
a disc or an external media card.
NOTE: You cannot initiate any type of networking connection or perform any computer functions
while the computer is in the Sleep state or in Hibernation.
Initiating and exiting Sleep
The system is set at the factory to initiate Sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity when running on battery
power and 25 minutes of inactivity when running on external power.
Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Management in Control Center.
With the computer on, you can initiate Sleep by clicking Computer > Shutdown > Suspend.
To exit Sleep:
● Briefly slide the power switch.
When the computer exits Sleep, the power light turns on and your work returns to the screen where
you stopped working.
Initiating and exiting Hibernation
The system is set at the factory to initiate Hibernation when the battery reaches a critical battery level.
NOTE: The system will not initiate Hibernation when running on external power.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of information loss, periodically save your work.
