Compaq ARMADA 3500 3500 User Manual page 50

If you use the computer frequently and want "instant-on"
convenience, you do not have to turn off the computer. Simply
initiate Suspend when the computer is not in use. With a fully
charged battery pack, the computer can be left in Suspend up to
several days, depending on your hardware configuration.
If you want to charge a battery pack while you are not using the
computer, connect the computer to external power and turn it off.
Although the battery pack will charge whether the computer is
turned on or off, it takes more than twice as long to charge it with
the computer on.
When external power is not available and battery power is low,
initiate Hibernation by pressing
the following steps:
1. Save your information.
2. Exit your applications.
3. Turn off the computer using Windows Shut Down (if you are
in Windows) or by using the power switch (if you are in DOS)
until external power or a fully charged battery pack is
available.
There are several methods to restart the computer, depending on
the power state:
From Hibernation
From Suspend
From Windows
