The notebook can also enter Hibernation if battery power reaches a critically low
level. If this happens, you will find on resuming that all your data has been saved,
but some functions may be disabled. To resume normal operation, restore power by
connecting an AC adapter or installing a charged battery, then shut the notebook off
and restart it.
Changing timeout settings and creating power schemes
You can adjust the length of timeouts after which your notebook automatically shuts
down components or enters a power-saving mode. You can also save these settings
as a power scheme.
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options.
2. Select the Power Schemes tab, then enter the settings you want. If you do not
want a particular timeout to occur, set the value to Never. See Windows Help for
details.
If you want to save the settings as a power scheme, select Save As and enter a
name for the scheme.
CAUTION
Do not disable Hibernation support in the Power settings or you will lose any
unsaved data if the notebook battery runs down completely.
