Power-up modes
The computer has three power-up modes:
■

■
Sleep (power remains on, maintaining the data in memory, but the CPU
and all other devices effectively enter a 'sleep' mode)
■
Boot (does not save data in memory)
Windows utilities
You can configure various settings associated with both Sleep Mode and
Hibernation Mode within the Power Options. To access it, click

You can use the

Panel power on/off
You can set up your computer so that power is turned off automatically
when you close the display panel, and turned on again when you open it.
Please note that this function is only available for Sleep Mode or
Hibernation Mode, not for Shut Down Mode.
The password is necessary only if the computer was shut down in boot
mode, not in Hibernation or Sleep mode.
At this point, the hotkeys
Fn + F1
to

do not work. They will function after
you enter the password.
If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the
computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter
the password.
