Enabling or Disabling Hibernation
Hibernation is enabled by default but can be disabled. To prevent
loss of work when the computer is in Windows and reaches a
critical low-battery condition, disable hibernation only during a
battery pack calibration.
To be sure that hibernation is enabled:
»
Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options icon > Hibernate tab. If
hibernation is enabled, the Enable hibernation check box is
selected.
To set the time interval after which the system initiates
hibernation:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options.
2. Click one of the intervals in the System hibernates list.

Leaving Your Work

If you are working in Windows and plan to resume shortly—
Initiate standby for shorter times and hibernation for longer times
or for power conservation. The amount of time a battery pack can
support standby or hibernation or hold a charge varies by
computer configuration and the condition of the battery pack.
Standby requires more power than hibernation.
If you plan to resume within 2 weeks—Shut down the computer
from Windows. If possible, connect the computer to external
power to keep an inserted battery pack fully charged.
