Knowing the Power Saving Features
One of the great features in your notebook computer aside from its superior
performance is the ability to save energy power. Your computer is designed to
incorporate intelligent and advanced power management functions that turn
off power of most components when system is idle or not in use. This feature
not only gives you longer battery hours but cooler systems and components as
well. For more information on how to control the power management features
of your computer, refer to Power Options function in Control Panel of
Windows.
The definitions of Standby Mode, Hibernation Mode, and Shutdown are
depicted as follows:
Standby Mode
Standby Mode is mainly for power saving. When the Standby Mode is
activated, your display and hard drive are shut down and all open applications
and documents are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory). This allows
your notebook to wake up quickly, but a low level of power is required to
maintain this suspended state. How quickly your system powers down into
Standby Mode is up to you by setting proper times in Power Options of
Control Panel in Window. While the notebook is in Standby mode, the LED
of power indicator flashes. To resume your working again , you can press the
power button to return your work to the screen where you left off.
