Using power saving modes
In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn off specific devices, your computer has two distinct
power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate. You can use the Standby and Hibernate power saving modes to override a
profile setting or initiate an immediate action.
 Standby — Saves the state of the system and peripheral devices in memory (RAM). Power consumption reduces to a
minimum, and the system remains on.
 Hibernate — Saves the state of the system and peripheral devices in the Save to Disk Partition on the hard disk
and power is turned off. Power consumption reduces to a minimum, and the system is turned off. Hibernate mode
consumes the lowest level of power. The computer automatically enters Hibernate mode when the remaining
battery charge drops below 5 percent, regardless of the setting you select.
To activate Standby mode
1. Press the key combination Fn+Esc or Fn+F12. The amber power indicator flashes in this mode.
2. Press any key to return to Normal mode.
To activate Hibernate mode
1. Press the power button and release it immediately. Do not move the computer until the power indicator turns
off.
2. Press the power button to return to normal mode.
If the computer does not activate Hibernate mode, see Frequently asked questions for more information.
