Initiating Standby, Hibernation or
Shutdown
The following sections describe when to initiate Standby or
Hibernation and when to shut down your notebook.

When Leaving Your Work

Initiate Standby for shorter times and Hibernation for longer
times or for more power conservation.
The amount of time a battery pack can support Standby or
Hibernation or hold a charge varies by notebook configuration
and the condition of the battery pack.
I
Initiating Standby clears the screen, uses less power than
leaving the notebook on, and your work returns quickly to the
screen when you resume from Standby. A fully charged new
battery pack can typically support Standby for up to 48 hours.
I
Initiating Hibernation clears the screen and uses much less
power than Standby. Returning to work saved in Hibernation
takes longer than returning to work saved in Standby, but is
faster than returning to your place manually after restarting
the notebook. A fully charged new battery pack can typically
support Hibernation for several weeks.
To extend the life of the battery pack when the notebook will be
disconnected from external power for an extended period, shut
down the notebook, remove the battery pack, and store it in a
cool, dry location.

When External Power Supply is Uncertain

If an external power supply is uncertain, for example, because of
an electrical storm, save your work, then initiate Hibernation or
shut down the notebook.
