Conserving Battery Power
The power management state referred to as Hibernate or Save-To-File (STF) saves the
system's current working environment to the system's hard drive, then powers down
the system to conserve battery power. You can configure your power management
settings to enter hibernation when your system reaches a critical low battery state.
In the Windows 2000 environment, the default setting for a critical low battery state is
Standby. The power management state of Standby does not power down your system to
conserve battery power. NECC recommends that you modify this default setting to
prevent data loss.
Follow these steps to modify the default setting for a critical low battery state:
Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel.
