Power Management; Acer Green Instant On - Acer Aspire S5 Series User Manual

P
This computer has a built-in power management unit that monitors
system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or
more of the following devices: keyboard, mouse, hard disk, peripherals
connected to the computer, and video memory. If no activity is detected
for a period of time, the computer stops some or all of these devices in
order to conserve energy.

Acer Green Instant On

The Acer Green Instant On feature allows your computer to wake up from
Sleep mode in less than the time it takes to open the lid. When you close
the lid, or select Shut Down > Sleep from the Start menu, your computer
enters Sleep mode. While the computer is in Sleep mode, the power
indicator LED will flash orange.
After a certain amount of time in Sleep mode, the computer will
automatically enter Deep Sleep to preserve battery life. When the
computer is in Deep Sleep, the power indicator LED will be turned off. In
this state, battery life lasts up to 80 days.
Open the lid or press any key to wake the computer from Deep Sleep or
Sleep mode.
Note: Once in Deep Sleep the system will consume significantly less
power compared with Sleep mode, but it will take a little longer to
wake up from Deep Sleep.
