Managing power
Your tablet can operate on either battery power or external power. When the tablet is running on battery
power only and an AC power source is not available to charge the battery, it is important to monitor and
conserve the battery charge.
Initiating and exiting Sleep
This tablet has the Windows power-saving state of Sleep.
Sleep—The Sleep state is automatically initiated after a period of inactivity. Your work is saved to memory,
allowing you to resume your work very quickly. The tablet maintains network connectivity during sleep,
allowing the system to update things in the background, and keeping the tablet ready to resume instantly.
You can also initiate Sleep manually. For more information, see
