Hibernation Mode
Hibernation helps conserve battery life and protects your data. Hibernation can be a routine power saving event,
or can be the result of a low battery condition. As it enters Hibernation your computer will display a progress
screen, as it automatically saves the machine state before it shuts down and turns itself off. Your computer will
automatically go into Hibernation, when the battery has little power left, or when the system (operating on battery
power) has been in Sleep mode for more than an hour. You can also manually initiate Hibernation by pressing the
power button once while the system is active. To restore the computer’s previous state, simply press the power
button once again. While waking up, the computer will display a progress screen.
The following table shows the conditions and indicators for getting in and out of the various power management
modes, Sleep, Hibernation, and Off.
