Using power-saving states

The computer has two power-saving states enabled at the factory: Sleep and Hibernation.
When Sleep is initiated, the power light blinks and the screen clears. Your work is saved to memory,
thereby conserving power and letting you exit Sleep faster than exiting Hibernation. While the computer
is in the Sleep state, the power light blinks. 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.
CAUTION:
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:
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 15 minutes of inactivity when running on battery
power and 30 minutes of inactivity when running on external power.
Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Options in Windows® Control Panel.
With the computer on, you can initiate Sleep in any of the following ways:
●
Press the Sleep key.
● Slide the power switch briefly.
●
Close the display.
●
Click Start, and then click the Power button.
●
Click Start, click the arrow next to the Shut down button, and then click Sleep.
You can exit Sleep in any of the following ways:
● Slide the power switch briefly.
●
If the display is closed, open the display.
●
Press a key on the keyboard.
●
Activate the TouchPad.
When the computer exits Sleep, the power light turns on and your work returns to the screen where you
stopped working.
NOTE:
before your work is returned to the screen.
