Power Management; Sleep Mode; Hibernate Mode - Medion AKOYA E1228 Manual

Power Management

Your netbook offers automatic and modifiable power saving functions that you can use to
maximize battery life and reduce overall operating costs. The power saving modes are
known as sleep mode and hibernate mode.

Sleep Mode

When in sleep mode, the contents of the RAM of your netbook are preserved while
practically all other components of your netbook are shut down, reducing your power
consumption to a minimum. By pressing any key on the keypad, you can bring your
netbook back to the fully operational state. You will restart at precisely the line in which
you were working prior to the interruption. The computer takes less time to go into and
come out of sleep mode, but uses more power than hibernate mode.

Hibernate Mode

The hibernate mode is an alternative to a complete shutdown of the netbook. In this mode
all data from RAM (system and graphic data) are copied to the hard disk as a file. As soon
as the data has been safely saved, the netbook powers down. When the netbook is
switched on again, this file is written back to RAM by the BIOS. In a few moments the
netbook is in the exact state as when it was last used. If while working on a document the
netbook is closed (assuming the correct ACPI setting), the netbook saves the data in RAM
for you automatically. You will restart at precisely the line in which you were working prior
to the interruption. The computer uses no power while it is in hibernate mode, but it takes
a little longer for the computer to go into and come out of hibernation compared to sleep.
