Sleep Mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this
mode, data is maintained in the main memory of the computer. When you
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always shut down the
computer. This includes turning off any wireless communication
functionalities, and canceling settings that reactivate the computer
automatically, such as a timer recording function. Failure to shut down the
computer in this way might allow the operating system to reactivate and run
pre-programmed tasks or preserve unsaved data, which might interfere
with aviation or other systems, possibly causing serious injury.
Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.
To prevent data loss, do not switch to Sleep Mode while transferring
data to external media, such as USB devices, memory media, or other
external memory devices.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode
(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). It can
cause data loss in the memory.
