Power Management; Standby Mode - Medion NOTEBOOK COMPUTER Manual

When in battery mode, a battery symbol is displayed and
when the power adapter is in use a power connector is dis-
played. If the battery is being charged the power connector
has a lightning symbol superimposed over it. Further infor-
mation on power settings can be obtained by double clicking

Your Notebook offers automatic and modifiable power saving
functions that you can use to maximize battery life and re-
duce overall operating costs. The power saving modes are
known as standby mode and suspend (hibernate) mode.

TANDBY MODE
When in standby mode, the contents of the RAM of your
Notebook are preserved while practically all other compo-
nents of your Notebook are shut down, reducing your power
consumption to a minimum. By pressing any key on the key-
pad, you can bring your Notebook back to the fully opera-
tional 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 standby mode, but uses
more power than suspend (hibernate) mode.

NOTE: If you ignore the warning signal when the
battery level is low, your Notebook goes into sus-
pend mode. (Depending on the BIOS/OS setting
this will be Save-to-Disk or Save-to-RAM).
WARNING! If the battery is empty, your data
will not be retained for long in Standby/Save-to-
RAM mode.
WARNING! Never remove the battery while the
Notebook is switched on or if the Notebook has
not yet gone into suspend mode, as this may
lead to loss of data.
