Using power saving modes

When you use a battery as the source of power for your computer, you can take advantage of power

management settings to conserve battery life. In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you

to turn off specific devices, your computer has two distinct power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate.

When using battery power, you should be aware that the computer automatically enters Hibernate mode

when the remaining battery charge drops below 7 percent, regardless of the power management setting

you select.

If the battery level falls below 10 percent, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a

fully charged battery.

Using Normal mode

This is the normal state of your computer when it is in use. The green power indicator light is on in this mode.

To save power while not working, you can turn off a specific device such as the LCD or the hard disk.

Using Standby mode

Standby mode turns off the LCD screen and sets the hard disk and the CPU to a low power consumption

mode. The umber power light flashes in this mode.

To activate Standby mode, proceed as follows:

Go to Start/Turn Off Computer and press Stand By.

Or press the <Fn>+<Esc> keys simultaneously.

To return to Normal mode, press any key.
