Putting the Mesa 2 to Sleep
The Mesa 2 goes to sleep after 10 minutes by default. When
the tablet is in a sleep state it is still powered up, but in a low
power state.
1. To put the Mesa to sleep, press and release the power
key or go to the Start menu, select the Power symbol,
and select Sleep. Going into a sleep state can take
several seconds, depending on which activities the
tablet is working on at the time. While it is going to sleep,
the red LED remains lit.
2. To wake the tablet from a sleep state, press and release
the power key again. When it is awakened, the tablet
quickly resumes where it was before it was put to sleep.
3. You can change the sleep default setting by going to
the Start menu and selecting Settings > System > Power
and Sleep > Sleep.
Hibernating the Mesa 2
The Mesa 2 can be set up to hibernate, which powers down
the Mesa 2. The state of the tablet is saved to a special
le. When the tablet is powered up, the unit boots, sees
the special le, and restores everything to the state it was
in before it hibernated. This is a safer choice versus sleep
if battery power is a concern. For example, your battery is
fairly consumed, but you won’t have access to the charger
for a while. Hibernate will stretch your battery life out.
By default, when the Mesa 2 is powered off, it goes to sleep.
You can change this setting to hibernate (or other options).
Open the Start menu and select Settings, then go to System
> Power and sleep. At the bottom of the screen under
Related settings, select Additional power settings > Choose
what the power button does. Under Power button settings,
When I press the power button: select Hibernate from the
pull down lists for the On battery and Plugged in options.
Powering Off and On the Mesa 2
To preserve battery power, we recommend you power off
the Mesa 2 if it will not be used over a long weekend or
