mode, data is maintained in the main memory of the computer. When you
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always shut down the
computer. This includes turning off any wireless communication
functionalities, and canceling settings that reactivate the computer
automatically, such as a timer recording function. Failure to shut down the
computer in this way might allow the operating system to reactivate and run
pre-programmed tasks or preserve unsaved data, which might interfere
with aviation or other systems, possibly causing serious injury.
Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.
To avoid possible battery life decrease, it is recommended to remove
any peripheral device connected to the computer before entering
Sleep Mode.
To prevent data loss, do not switch to Sleep Mode while transferring
data to external media, such as USB devices, memory media, or other
external memory devices.
When the AC adaptor is connected, the computer will go into Sleep
Mode according to the settings in the Power Options (to access it,
click Start -> Windows System -> Control Panel -> System and
Security -> Power Options.)
If the computer enters Sleep Mode while a network application is
active, the application might not be restored when the computer is
next turned on and the system returns from Sleep Mode.
To prevent the computer from automatically entering Sleep Mode,
disable Sleep Mode within the Power Options.
