Sleep
You can select Sleep mode instead of turning off the computer when you have finished using it. This allows the
computer to wake up faster than turning it completely off and saves power over the active (On) mode. Compaq
Presario Notebook computers have two levels of sleep, Hibernation and Sleep.
Hibernation
- by pushing the power button once your computer will perform a save to disk followed by a shut down
of the computer into Off mode.
Sleep
- is a low power mode, also referred to as Standby mode. While in Sleep mode, your computer will maintain
system information and open files. Unsaved information will be lost if you turn off your system prior to system wake-
up, or if you lose power while using the AC adapter.
CAUTION:
While in Sleep mode, your computer will maintain system information and open files. Unsaved
information will be lost if you turn off your system prior to system wake-up, or if you lose power while
using the AC adapter
.
Hibernation Mode
Hibernation helps conserve battery life and protects your data. Hibernation can be a routine power saving event, or
can be the result of a low battery condition. As it enters Hibernation your computer will display a progress screen, as
it automatically saves the machine state before it shuts down and turns itself off. Your computer will automatically go
into Hibernation, when the battery has little power left, or when the system (operating on battery power) has been in
Sleep mode for more than an hour. You can also manually initiate Hibernation by pressing the power button once
