3.5 Knowing the Power Saving Features
Aside from its superior performance, one of the great features in your
notebook computer is the ability to conserve power. Your computer is
designed to incorporate intelligent and advanced power management functions
that turn off power of most components when system is idle or not in use.
This feature not only gives you longer battery hours but cooler systems and
components as well.
The definitions of Standby Mode, Hibernation Mode, and Shutdown are
depicted as follows:
Standby Mode
Standby Mode is mainly for power saving. When the Standby Mode is
activated, your display and hard drive are shut down and all open applications
and documents are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory). This allows
your notebook to wake up quickly, but a low level of power is required to
maintain this suspended state. How quickly your system powers down into
Standby mode is up to you by setting proper times in Power Options of
Control Panel in Window. While the notebook is in Standby mode, the LED
of power indicator flashes. To resume your working again
, you can press the
power button to return your work to the screen where you left off.
