5.1.1 Managing Your Notebook's Power
See
Battery for more information on getting the best
performance from battery packs.
Use your notebook connected to an electrical outlet as often
as possible, as battery life expectancy is affected by the
number of times it is charged.
Your computer comes equipped with built-in power management.
You can configure it, through the Power Options program in the
Control Panel, to sleep, hibernate, and wake according to specific
pre-defined situations.
When leaving your notebook unattended for long periods, place it
in standby or hibernate mode. You can exit either power
management mode by pressing the power button.
