Waking up your notebook
When you have not used your notebook for several
minutes or if you close the LCD panel without turning
off your notebook, it may enter a power-saving mode
called
Sleep
. While in Sleep mode, the power indicator
flashes. If your notebook is in Sleep mode, press the
power button to “wake” it up.
Turning off your notebook
Putting your notebook into Sleep mode is the easiest
way to power down your notebook. Although it does
not turn your notebook completely off, it turns off or
slows down most system operations to save power.
Sleep mode saves your desktop layout so the next time
you restore power, the programs are laid out just as
you left them. Waking your notebook from a Sleep
state is much faster than turning on your notebook
after it has been turned completely off.
