When the tablet is in Sleep Mode, the power indicator will blink amber.
If you are operating the tablet on battery power, you can lengthen the
overall operating time by turning it off into Hibernation Mode - Sleep
Mode will consume more power while the tablet is off.
Sleep Mode limitations
Sleep Mode will not function under the following conditions:
Power is turned back on immediately after shutting down.
Memory circuits are exposed to static electricity or electrical noise.
Hibernation Mode
The Hibernation Mode feature saves the contents of memory to the Solid
State Drive when the tablet is turned off so that, the next time it is turned
on, the previous state is restored. Please note that the Hibernation Mode
feature does not save the status of any peripheral devices connected to the
tablet.
Save your data. While entering Hibernation Mode, the tablet saves the
contents of memory to the Solid State Drive. However, for safety sake,
it is best to save your data manually.
Data will be lost if you disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is
completed. Wait for the Power indicator to go out.
