Learning the Basics
Power down options
TECHNICAL NOTE: If the battery discharges fully (which will
happen if you leave the computer unplugged and in Standby
or Suspend/Resume mode for over eight hours), your
information will be lost. So, you should save all your work
before you turn off the power while in Standby or Suspend/
Resume mode.
Using Hibernation mode
Use Hibernation mode when you don’t plan to use your computer
again in the reasonably near future, or when you want to be certain
of preserving the state of your programs and data.
NOTE: Hibernation mode is not available on Windows NT.
Hibernation mode saves the state of your computer to the hard
disk before shutting down completely. Hibernation mode uses no
battery power to maintain the information. Information stored on
hard disk does not depend on the battery being charged.
Hibernation mode is set as the default on your computer.
To put your computer into Hibernation:
1 Open the Start menu.
2 Click Hibernate.
The computer will go into Hibernation and turn itself off.
Enabling Hibernation mode
To enable Hibernation mode in Windows 98 Second Edition:
1 Open the Start menu, point to Settings, and click Control
Panel.
2 Double-click the Power Saver icon.
