Standby and Hibernation
Standby and Hibernation are energy-saving features that conserve
power and reduce startup time. They can be initiated by you or

Shutdown” section in this chapter for details about when to use
each setting.

CAUTION: To avoid a complete battery discharge, do not leave your
tablet PC in Standby for extended periods. Connect the tablet PC to an
external power source.
Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use.
When Standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access
memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared. When you resume
from Standby, your work returns to the screen where you left off.
■ Saving your work before initiating Standby is not usually
necessary but is a recommended precaution.
■ When the tablet PC is in Standby, the standby light and the
power/standby light flash.
Hibernation
Hibernation saves your work to a hibernation file on the hard
drive, and then shuts down the tablet PC. When you restore from
Hibernation, your work returns to the screen where you left off. If
a power-on password has been set, the password must be entered
to restore from Hibernation.
You can disable Hibernation. However, if Hibernation is disabled,
and the system reaches a low-battery condition, the system will
not automatically save your work while power is on or when
Standby has been initiated.
In the Power Options window, Hibernation is not displayed as an
option if it has been disabled. You must enable Hibernation in
order to select it in the Power Options window. To verify that
