Saving Energy
Congratulations! You are no longer a “new user.” Now you
know how to use some of the fun, basic functions of your new
Presario Notebook computer, like surfing the Web. Now, it’s
time to learn about some advanced features, such as power
management, Hibernation and Sleep modes.
What is Power Management?
This section explains the following:
• Understanding Power Management
• Starting and Ending Power Modes
• Power Management Settings
• Changing Power Management Settings
Understanding Power Management
Power management lets you reduce your Notebook power
consumption. Your Notebook has two power
management modes:
• Hibernation saves information to the hard drive
and then turns off your Notebook. Your Notebook
hibernates when the
Power button is pressed, when the
battery has little power left, or when your Notebook
(operating on battery power) is in Sleep mode for more
than one hour.
• Sleep, also called Standby, puts your Notebook in low-
power mode. It is still on, but the display appears blank.
Caution:
Although Sleep mode maintains system information and
open files, you will lose any unsaved information if you turn off
your Notebook before you end the Sleep mode.
