Initiating and exiting Hibernation
The system is set at the factory to initiate Hibernation after 120 minutes of inactivity when running on
battery power, 1080 minutes (18 hours) of inactivity when running on external power, or when the battery
reaches a critical battery level.
Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Options in Windows Control Panel.
To initiate Hibernation:
1. Click Start, and then click the arrow next to the Lock button.
2. Click Hibernate.
To exit Hibernation:
Briefly slide the power switch.
The power lights turn on and your work returns to the screen where you stopped working.
NOTE: If you have set a password to be required when the computer exits Hibernation, you must enter
your Windows password before your work will return to the screen.
Using the battery meter
The battery meter is located in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar. The battery meter
allows you to quickly access power settings, view remaining battery charge, and select a different power
plan.

over the battery meter icon.
To access Power Options, or to change the power plan, click the battery meter icon and select an
item from the list.
Different battery meter icons indicate whether the computer is running on battery or external power. The
icon also displays a message if the battery has reached a critical battery level.
To hide or display the battery meter icon:

2. Click the Notification Area tab.
3. Under System icons, clear the Power check box to hide the battery meter icon, or select the
Power check box to display the battery meter icon.

Using power plans
A power plan is a collection of system settings that manages how the computer uses power. Power
plans can help you conserve power or maximize performance.
You can change power plan settings or create your own power plan.
Viewing the current power plan
