Sleep Mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this
mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so that, when you
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
Do not turn the computer or peripheral devices back on immediately - wait
a short period to avoid any potential damage.
Turning Off Your Computer where Electronic Devices are Regulated or
Controlled.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always shut down the
computer completely or put the computer into Hibernation Mode instead of
allowing it to go into Sleep Mode, and turn off any wireless communication
switches or devices, while in Sleep Mode, the computer operating system
may reactivate itself to run pre-programmed tasks or to preserve unsaved
data, and might interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing
serious injury.
■ Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Sleep Mode. The computer or the memory module could be damaged.
■ Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode
(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in
memory could be lost.
■ When the AC adaptor is connected, the computer will go into Sleep
Mode according to the settings in the Power Options (to access it, Start
-> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Power Options).
■ To restore the operation of the computer from Sleep Mode, press and
hold the power button or any key on the keyboard for a short amount of
time. Please note that keyboard keys can only be used if the Wake-up
on Keyboard option is enabled within the HW Setup utility.
■ If the computer enters Sleep Mode while a network application is
active, the application might not be restored when the computer is next
turned on and the system returns from Sleep Mode.
■ To prevent the computer from automatically entering Sleep Mode,
disable Sleep Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start ->
Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Power Options).
■ To use the Hybrid Sleep function, configure it in the Power Options.
