Standby
and
Hibernate
suspend mode levels (

mode will need to be enabled by

con-
trol panel -

).
Hibernate Mode vs. Shutdown
“Hibernate Mode” and “Shutdown” are the same in that the system
is off and you need to press the power button to turn it on. The main
difference between them is:
When you come back from hibernation, you can return to where you
last left off (what was on your desktop) without reopening the appli-
cation(s) and file(s) you last used.You can use either method depend-
ing on your needs.
Standby Mode vs. Hibernate Mode
If you want to stay away from your work for just a while, you can put
the system on standby instead of in hibernation. It takes a longer time
to wake up the system from Hibernate Mode than from Standby
Mode.
Battery Critically Low
Sleep Button
When the battery
reaches a critically low
power state, the sys-
tem will either go into
Hibernate or Standby
mode dependant upon
the setting of the Sleep
Button (
“Suspend/
Resume Keys” on
page 3 - 23
).
