Waking up your convertible notebook
When you have not used your convertible notebook for
several minutes or if you close the LCD panel without turning
off your convertible notebook, it may enter a power-saving
mode called
Sleep . While in Sleep mode, the power indicator
flashes. If your convertible notebook is in Sleep mode, press
the power button to “wake” it up.
Turning off your convertible
notebook
Putting your convertible notebook into Sleep mode is the
easiest way to power down your convertible notebook.
Although it does not turn your convertible notebook
completely off, it turns off or slows down most system
operations to save power. Sleep mode saves your desktop
layout so the next time you restore power, the programs are
laid out just as you left them. Waking your convertible
notebook from a Sleep state is much faster than turning on
your convertible notebook after it has been turned completely
off.
Hibernate mode is an alternative to Sleep mode. In Hibernate
mode, your convertible notebook is turned completely off.
When you wake your convertible notebook from Hibernate
mode, however, the programs that were running when your
convertible notebook entered Hibernate mode are running
just as you left them.
To put your convertible notebook to sleep:
•
Click or tap ( Start ), then click or tap (power).
The convertible notebook saves your session and
partially shuts down to save power.
