Initiating and exiting Hibernation
The system is set at the factory to initiate Hibernation after 1,080 minutes of inactivity when running on
battery power or 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.
Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Options in Windows Control Panel.
To initiate Hibernation:
▲ Click Start, click the arrow next to the Shut down button, and then click Hibernate.
To exit Hibernation:
▲ Briefly slide the power switch.
When the computer exits Hibernation, the power light turns on and your work returns to the screen where
you stopped working.
NOTE: If you have set a password to be required when the computer exits Hibernation, you must enter
your Windows password before your work will return to the screen.
