Low-Power Modes

Compaq Presario 1200 Series Notebook Computers have two levels of low-power

management: Hibernation and Standby (also known as Sleep mode).

Hibernation

Hibernation helps conserve battery life and protect data. Your Notebook automatically

enters Hibernation mode when the battery has little power left or when the Notebook

(operating on battery power) is in Standby mode for more than

one hour

. As the Notebook

enters Hibernation, it automatically stores the contents of the Notebook memory to the

hard drive before it shuts down. When the Notebook comes out of Hibernation, it returns to

its former state.

Activate Hibernation mode by pressing the Power button once.

To restart the Notebook, press the Power button once. When the Notebook enters or

wakes from Hibernation mode, a Progress window is displayed on the screen.

Standby

Standby is a low-power mode, also referred to as Sleep mode. Selecting Standby mode

instead of turning off the Notebook has two advantages: It allows the Notebook to wake up

faster than turning it completely off; and it saves more power than the active (On) mode.

To activate Standby/Sleep mode, complete one of the following:

Press Fn+F4.

Click Start, select the Shut Down option, and click Standby.

CAUTION: The Notebook maintains system information and open files while in
Standby mode. However, unsaved information is lost if the Notebook is turned off
prior to system wake-up, or if a power loss occurs while using the AC adapter.
