off power of most components when system is idle or not in use. This feature
not only gives you longer battery life but also cools the systems and
components as well.
The definitions of Standby Mode, Hibernation Mode, and Shutdown are
depicted as follows:
Standby Mode
Standby Mode is mainly for power saving. When the Standby Mode is
activated, your display and hard drive are shut down and all open applications
and documents are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory). This allows
your Mini-note to wake up quickly, but a low level of power is required to
maintain this suspended state. How quickly your system power down into
Standby mode is up to you by setting proper times in Power Options of
Control Panel in Window. While the Mini-note is in Standby mode, the LED
of power indicator flashes. To resume your working again
, you can press the
power button to return your work to the screen where you left off.
Hibernation Mode
In Hibernation mode, all system devices are powered down and the contents
of RAM are stored on your hard drive. Hibernate mode uses less power than
Standby mode, but takes a bit longer time to resume. When your Mini-note
goes into hibernation, Windows saves your entire desktop state before
powering down your Mini-note. You don’t need to save and close each
document before you put your Mini-note into hibernation. When you press
power button again, system will bring your Mini-note out of hibernation. You'll
find your applications and documents open on your desktop exactly as you left
them.
