Management Tips
● Connect the Dell™ computer to an electrical outlet when possible because the
battery life expectancy is largely determined by the number of times the battery
is charged.
● Place the computer in standby mode or hibernate mode when you leave the
computer unattended for long periods of time.
● To exit a power management mode, press the power button.
Power Management Modes
Standby Mode
Standby mode conserves power by turning off the display and the hard drive after a
predetermined period of inactivity (a time-out). When the computer exits standby
mode, it returns to the same operating state it was in before entering standby mode.
NOTICE: If your computer loses AC and battery power while in standby mode,
it may lose data.
