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. 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 attached devices in memory (RAM). Power consumption is reduced to
a minimum. The system remains on, and the computer screen (LCD) is off.
 Hibernate — Saves the state of the system and attached devices to the hard disk. Power consumption is completely
off. Your computer enters Hibernate mode when the remaining battery charge drops below 5 percent, regardless of
the setting you select.
Since some software programs and attached devices prevent the system from entering Hibernate mode, save your
data frequently to avoid data loss.
To activate Standby mode
1. Press the Fn and Esc keys. The power indicator blinks in this mode.
2. Press any key to return to normal mode.
To activate Hibernate mode
1. Press the Fn and F12 keys. Do not move the computer until the power indicator turns off.
2. Move the power switch to the right to return to normal mode.
If the computer does not activate Hibernate mode, see Frequently asked questions for more information.
