Using power saving modes
Always save your work before using Standby
mode. In Standby mode, your notebook reduces
or turns off the power to most devices except
memory. However, the information in memory is
not saved to the hard drive. If power is
interrupted, the information is lost.
When in Hibernate mode, your notebook saves
all memory information to the hard drive, then
turns the power completely off.
Changing notebook power settings
You can change the function of your notebook’s
power button, Standby system key, and
power-saving timers by changing power
settings on your notebook.
You can customize power settings from the
Windows Control Panel by selecting power
schemes, setting power alarms, adjusting
advanced power settings, and activating
Hibernate mode.
