Green Power Management
Closing the websurfer (lowering the cover) allows you to put the system to
‘sleep’. You can quickly boot up by pressing the Power Button and the system
will start up exactly how it was when you closed the lid.
One of the great features of websurfer is the ability to conserve power. The
websurfer has an integrated SMM (System Management Mode) on the chipset
that shuts down components not in use to reduce power consumption. To set
up power management options, go to Control Panel > Power Options.
This feature not only gives you longer battery life but also cools the system and
components as well, which ultimately prolongs the life of your websurfer.
Standby Mode
Standby Mode is mainly for power saving. Your display and hard drive are shut
down and all open applications and documents are stored in RAM (Random
Access Memory). This allows your websurfer to wake up quickly, but a low
level of power is required to maintain this suspended state.
While the websurfer is in Standby mode, the LED power indicator flashes. To
resume your work again, press the power button to return to the previous
screen you were working on.
Hibernation Mode
In Hibernation mode, all system devices are powered down and the contents
of RAM are stored on your hard drive. Hibernate mode uses less power than
Standby mode, but takes a bit longer time to resume. When your websurfer
goes into hibernation, Windows saves your entire desktop state before
powering down. You don’t need to save and close each document before
Hibernating but it is strongly advised that you do. When you press power
button again, the system will bring your websurfer out of hibernation. You'll
find your applications and documents open on your desktop exactly as you left
them.
Shutdown
All power has been turned off from the UMPC. Always shut down using the
Start > Shutdown procedure.
