How to Use
Using Sleep Mode
In Sleep mode, all unnecessary devices of your VAIO computer are turned off, though some
devices stay on to retain the computer’s state including data you are working on. Sleep
mode is useful when you take a short rest, for example.
With the default Sleep mode settings, Rapid Wake is enabled and the computer’s state is
saved to the built-in storage device.
To activate Sleep mode
1.
Open the charms
and select the
Settings
charm.
2.
Select
Power
and
Sleep

The power indicator light turns off when your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode.
Hint
By default, your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode automatically after about 30
minutes of inactivity while running on AC power.
The operations below also place your VAIO computer into Sleep mode.
Press the (Power) button (with the default setting).
Note that if you press and hold down the (Power) button for more than four

If this occurs and the battery pack is running out of power, the computer will be turned
off, resulting in loss of unsaved data.
