Using Power Saving Modes
When you use a battery as the source of power for your computer, you
can take advantage of power management settings to conserve battery
life. In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn
off specific devices, your computer has two distinct power saving modes:
System Suspend and System Hibernation. When using battery power,
you should be aware that the computer automatically enters System
Hibernation mode when the remaining battery charge drops below 7%,
regardless of the power management setting you select.
Normal Mode
This is the normal state of your computer when it is in use. The green
power indicator light is on in this mode. To save power, you can turn off a
specific device such as the LCD or the hard disk.
System Suspend Mode
The computer saves the current state of the system in RAM and switches
off power to the CPU. The amber power indicator light flashes in this
mode.
To activate System Suspend mode
Press Fn+Esc, or you can slide the power switch forward and release the
switch immediately. You can also use the PowerPanel utility to enter
System Suspend mode.
To return to normal mode
Press any key.
✍
If your battery level falls to less than 10%, you should either attach the AC adapter to
recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully charged battery.
