Using The Power Saving Modes - Sony VGN-TX3HP/W User Manual

Using the Power Saving Modes

When you use a battery as the power source for your computer, you can take advantage of power management settings to
conserve battery life. In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn off specific devices, your computer
has two distinct power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate. When using battery power, you should be aware that the
computer will automatically enter Hibernate mode if the remaining battery charge becomes short, regardless of the power
management setting you select.
!
If the battery level falls below 10 percent, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and install a fully
charged battery.
Using Normal Mode
This is the normal state of the computer when it is in use. The green power indicator light is on in this mode. To save power
while not working, you can turn off a specific device such as the LCD screen or the hard disk.
You can change the memory configuration during Normal mode. See Changing the Performance Setting
