Turning off your convertible
notebook
Putting your convertible notebook into Sleep mode is the
easiest way to power down your convertible notebook.
Although it does not turn your convertible notebook
completely off, it turns off or slows down most system
operations to save power. Sleep mode saves your desktop
layout so the next time you restore power, the programs are
laid out just as you left them. Waking your convertible
notebook from a Sleep state is much faster than turning on
your convertible notebook after it has been turned completely
off.
Hibernate mode is an alternative to Sleep mode. In Hibernate
mode, your convertible notebook is turned completely off.
When you wake your convertible notebook from Hibernate
mode, however, the programs that were running when your
convertible notebook entered Hibernate mode are running
just as you left them.
To put your convertible notebook to sleep:
• Click or tap (Start), then click or tap (power).
The convertible notebook saves your session and
partially shuts down to save power.
-OR-
Press F
N+F3.
To put your convertible notebook into hibernation:
• Click or tap (Start), click or tap the arrow next to
the lock icon, then click or tap Hibernate. The
convertible notebook saves your session and shuts
down to save power.
Tip
You can change the Sleep mode from the standard Sleep mode (default)
to Hybrid Sleep. For more information about Sleep mode, see “Changing power
modes” on page 75.
