Using power-saving states

The computer has two power-saving states that are enabled at the factory: Sleep and Hibernation.
When Sleep is initiated, the power lights blink and the screen clears. Your work is saved to memory,
letting you exit Sleep faster than exiting Hibernation. If the computer is in the Sleep state for an
extended period or if the battery reaches a critical battery level while in the Sleep state, the computer
initiates Hibernation.
When Hibernation is initiated, your work is saved to a hibernation file on the hard drive and the
computer turns off.
CAUTION:
playback functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Sleep or Hibernation while reading from or
writing to a disc or an external media card.
NOTE: You cannot initiate any type of networking connection or perform any computer functions
while the computer is in the Sleep state or in Hibernation.

Initiating and exiting Sleep

The system is set at the factory to initiate Sleep after a period of inactivity when running on battery
power or on external power.
Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Options in Windows® Control Panel.

●
