Using Sleep Mode
In Sleep mode, all unnecessary devices of your VAIO computer are turned off, though some
devices stay on to retain the computer’s state including data you are working on. Sleep
mode is useful when you take a short rest, for example.
With the default Sleep mode settings, Rapid Wake is enabled and the computer’s state is
saved to the built-in storage device.
To activate Sleep mode
1. Click (Start), (arrow) next to the Shut down button, and Sleep.
The power indicator light turns off when your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode.
Hint
By default, your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode automatically after about 30
minutes of inactivity while running on AC power.
The operations below also place your VAIO computer into Sleep mode.
Press the (Power) button (with the default setting).
Note that if you press and hold down the (Power) button for more than four
seconds, your VAIO computer will turn off automatically. Doing this will erase all
unsaved data.
Close the LCD screen lid and leave the computer unused for a few seconds.
To return to Normal mode
1. Press the (Power) button.
Note
By default, your VAIO computer automatically enters Hibernate mode when the battery
pack becomes weak. However, depending on the currently running software and
connected devices, Windows may not allow their tasks to be suspended, resulting in
failure to enter Hibernate mode. If this occurs and the battery pack is running out of
power, the computer will be turned off, resulting in loss of unsaved data.
While the computer is running on battery power, save data frequently.
Before moving your VAIO computer, make sure that the power indicator light is off to
avoid impact or vibration to the running hard disk drive.
Hint
If you press and hold down the (Power) button for more than four seconds, your VAIO
computer will turn off automatically. Doing this will erase all unsaved data.
You can restore your VAIO computer from Sleep mode to Normal mode by opening the
LCD screen lid. To change the action when you open the lid, change the settings in Lid
Action Settings under Power Management on VAIO Control Center.
