Hibernation has the following benefits:
■
Since the computer is turned off and there is no drain on
battery packs, the computer can stay in Hibernation for an
unlimited time.
■
You can manually save your place in any application or when
making a presentation.
■
Information is automatically saved when the computer reaches
a critical low-battery condition (if Hibernation has not been
disabled).
NOTE:
Refer to Chapter 3, “Learning About Battery Packs,”
for information on low battery and critical low battery
conditions.
Initiating Hibernation
Hibernation is initiated in the following ways:
■
Press
Fn
and
the
suspend button to initiate Hibernation
manually. Hibernation marks your place in your applications
and turns off power completely to your computer.
■
System-initiated Hibernation occurs when the computer
reaches a critical low-battery condition. To protect against loss
of information, the computer automatically saves all
information in system memory to the hard disk and then turns
off. Turn on the computer to resume work.
CAUTION:
If you received a “critical” low-battery warning, do not
initiate Hibernation. Save all data and turn off the computer.
IMPORTANT:
While using the modem with communications
software (on models with an internal modem), the modem will
disconnect when Hibernation is initiated or a low-battery
condition occurs. After exiting Hibernation or resolving the low-
battery condition, restart the communications software to restore
the original modem settings.
