Page 176
Low Battery Hibernation is enabled by default. With this function, your VAIO computer
automatically enters Hibernate mode and your working data is saved on the built-in storage
device when the battery pack runs out of power.
1. Start VAIO Control Center and select Power and Battery. (See
to start VAIO Control Center.)
2. Enable/disable the setting in Action When Battery Power Low.
Note
With Low Battery Hibernation disabled:
Your working data will be lost if your VAIO computer is turned off because, for example, the battery
pack runs out of power or the computer is disconnected from an AC power source. To avoid data loss,
be sure to save the data before the computer enters Sleep mode.
If your VAIO computer is equipped with the power indicator, it blinks slowly in orange during Sleep
mode. When the battery pack runs out of power during Sleep mode, the charge indicator light blinks. If
the computer is equipped with the power indicator, it blinks along with the charge indicator.
About Sleep Mode
Sleep mode enables you to take a break and retain the computer’s state, including data you are
working on.
With the default Sleep mode settings, your VAIO computer connects to the Internet regularly
and enables you to obtain the latest updates on email, Social Networking Services (SNSs), etc.
even if the computer is in Sleep mode.
Checking the Battery Charge Capacity
The battery pack is consumable. The capacity gradually declines through repeated cycles of

1. Start VAIO Control Center and select Power and Battery. (See
