Power-saving modes

There are several modes that you can use at any time to conserve power. This section introduces each mode

and gives tips on the effective use of battery power.

• Sleep mode

In sleep mode, your work is saved to memory, and then the storage drive and the computer display are

turned off. When your computer wakes up, your work is restored within seconds.

To put your computer to sleep mode, open the Start menu, click

Power, and then click Sleep.

• Hibernation mode

By using this mode, you can turn off your computer completely without saving files or exiting any

programs that are running. When the computer enters hibernation mode, all open programs, folders, and

files are saved to the storage drive, and then the computer turns off.

To put the computer to hibernation mode, define what the power button does first, and then press the

power button to put the computer to hibernation mode.

If you put your computer to hibernation mode with the wake-up function disabled, the computer does not

consume any power. The wake-up function is disabled by default. If you put your computer to hibernation

mode with the wake-up function enabled, the computer consumes a small amount of power.

To enable the wake-up function, do the following:

1. Open Control Panel, view Control Panel by Category, and then click System and Security.

2. Click Administrative Tools.

3. Double-click Task Scheduler. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation,

type the password or provide confirmation.

4. From the left pane, select the task folder for which you want to enable the wake-up function. The

scheduled tasks are displayed.

5. Click a scheduled task, and then click the Conditions tab.

6. Under Power, select Wake the computer to run this task.

• Wireless off

When you are not using the wireless features, such as Bluetooth or wireless LAN, turn them off to help

conserve power.

Cabled Ethernet connection

With an Ethernet cable, you can connect your computer to a local network through the mini Ethernet

connector on your computer.

To attach an Ethernet cable to your computer, you need an Ethernet extension adapter.

The Ethernet extension adapter is available as an option. You can purchase an Ethernet extension adapter

from Lenovo at

https://www.lenovo.com/accessories.

The Ethernet connector on the Ethernet extension adapter has two network status indicators. When the

green indicator is on, the computer is connected to a LAN. When the yellow indicator blinks, data is being

transmitted.
