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:
Standby
and
Hibernate
. When using battery power, you should be aware that the computer
automatically enters
Hibernate
mode when the remaining battery charge drops below a certain percentage, regardless of the power
management setting you select.
✍
If the battery level falls below 10%, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully charged battery.
Using 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 while
not working, you can turn off a specific device such as the LCD or the hard disk.
Using Standby mode
Standby
mode turns off the LCD screen and sets the hard disk and the CPU to a low power consumption mode. The umber power
light flashes in this mode.
