Power Saving Options
When battery power reaches critical low (3% remaining), the system enters
either one of the two power saving modes:
• Stand By mode
• Hibernate Mode - Save To Disk
Stand By Mode
In Stand By mode, hardware devices, such as display panel and hard disk, are
turned off to conserve energy. Click Start > select Turn Off Computer > click
Stand By. To use the V1250 again, press the Power On button.
Save To Disk - Hibernate Mode
In this mode, all system data is saved to the hard disk before powering down.
When in the hibernate mode, very little power is drawn from the battery.
To enable the hibernation function, click Start > Control Panel > Performance
and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate Option > OK under the Enable
Hibernation option.
The Power On/Power Management Button
The V1250 power On/Off button serves two functions: to turn the unit on and to
put the unit in Stand By (system power management). To turn the V1250 on,
slide the power On button.
To put the V1250 in Stand By do one of the following:
• Slide the power button. If the On button is not set up to Stand By, click the
Windows Start button > Control Panel > Power Options > Advanced. Under
the Running on batteries column, select the time you want before the unit goes
into Stand By.
• Click Start > Turn Off > Stand By.
• Press Fn and F2 on your keyboard.
To wake up the system from Stand By, slide the Power On button.
Bridge Battery Feature
You can change battery packs on the V1250 without shutting the unit off and
preserving the current date. Place the system on Stand By (Start > Shut down >
Stand By). Make sure that the Standby LED is on. You can now replace the
battery pack without losing any data.
IMPORTANT: You only have five (5) minutes to change the battery pack.
