Initiating Standby, Hibernation or Shutdown

The following sections explain when to initiate standby or
hibernation and when to shut down your notebook.
✎
You cannot initiate any type of networking communications or
perform any computer functions while the notebook is in
standby or hibernation.
When You Leave Your Work
Initiating standby clears the screen. When the notebook is in
standby, it uses less power than when it is on. Your work returns
instantly to the screen when you resume from standby.
Initiating hibernation clears the screen and saves your work to the
hard drive. When the notebook is in hibernation, it uses much less
power than when it is in standby.
Shutting down the notebook and removing the battery pack is
recommended to extend the life of the battery pack when the
notebook will be unused and disconnected from external power
for an extended period. For details on battery pack storage, refer
to "Storing a Battery
When a Reliable Power Supply Is Unavailable
Make sure that hibernation remains enabled, especially if you are
operating the notebook on battery power and do not have access
to an external power supply. If the battery pack fails, hibernation
saves your work to a hibernation file and shuts down the
notebook.
It is recommended that if you pause your work when the power
supply is uncertain, you do one of the following:
■
Initiate hibernation.
■
Shut down the notebook.
■
Save your work, and then initiate standby.
