state including data you are working on.
To activate Sleep mode
1. Open the charms and select the Settings charm. (See Opening the Charms to open the

If your VAIO computer is equipped with the power indicator, it turns off when the computer
enters Sleep mode (with the default setting).
To return to Normal mode

Note
If you press and hold down the (Power) button for more than 4 or 10 seconds, your VAIO

By default, your VAIO computer automatically enters Hibernate mode when the battery pack
is running out of power. However, depending on the operating conditions, the computer may
fail 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 computer is off to avoid impact or
vibration to the running hard disk drive. If the computer is equipped with the power
indicator, make sure that it is completely off.
Hint
By default, your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode automatically after a certain period of
inactivity while running on AC power.
