Sleep
Sleep uses very little system power, and takes a short time to return to full operation.
After an extended period of time in Sleep the computer will save the contents of sys-
tem memory (e.g. any open documents and applications) to the hard disk and shut
the system down. When you are not using your computer for a certain length of time,
which you specify in the operating system, it will enter
Sleep mode to save power.
Hibernate
Hibernate uses no power and saves all of your information on a part of the hard disk
before it turns the system off. Although it saves the most power it takes the longest
time to return to full operation. You can set your computer to automatically enter
Hi-
bernate when the battery power is almost depleted. You will need to enable Hiber-
nate mode from the Advanced Settings in power plans, or you put the system
directly into Hibernate mode from the Lock Button Menu . The system will re-
sume from Hibernate mode by pressing the power button .
