SAVING POWER
USING
STAND BY
OR HIBERNATE
You can save Tablet PC power with either low-power Stand By or
Hibernation modes. Each preserves your Tablet PC settings so you can
resume work where you left off. Their differences are described below:
• Stand By mode — Greatly reduces Tablet PC power consumption, but
the Tablet runs on battery if not connected to AC power. The Tablet PC
restarts from Stand By within a few seconds. Choose Stand By when you
plan to return to work within a few minutes or hours and want to con-
serve power
• Hibernate mode — Completely shuts down the Tablet PC to conserve
power. It take slightly longer to restart from Hibernate than from Stand
By. Choose Hibernate when you plan to stop work for longer periods
such as overnight and for battery swapping.
Starting Stand By or Hibernate from the Start Button
To quickly access Stand By or Hibernate:
1. Select Start/Turn Off Computer.
2. From the pop-up window, tap Stand By or press the Shift key to tog-
gle to Hibernate and then tap that option.
3. The Tablet PC will turn off. In Stand By, the power LED will flash
green. In Hibernate, all LEDs are off.
IMPORTANT: Always select Hibernate when you install a battery if you want to
resume work where you left off.
