6 Managing power
Your computer can operate on either battery power or external power. When the computer is running on
battery power and an external power source is not available to charge the battery, it is important to monitor
and conserve the battery charge.
Some power management features described in this chapter might not be available on your computer.
Using Sleep
Windows has two power-saving states, Sleep and Hibernation. Your computer does not support the use of the
Hibernation state.
● Sleep—The Sleep state automatically initiates after a period of inactivity. Your work is available in
memory, allowing you to resume your work quickly. You can also initiate Sleep manually. Depending on
your computer model, the Sleep state might also support Modern Standby mode. This mode keeps some
internal operations awake and enables your computer to receive web notications, such as emails, while
in Sleep. For more information, see Initiating and exiting Sleep on page 27.
IMPORTANT: Several well-known vulnerabilities exist when a computer is in the Sleep state. To prevent an
unauthorized user from accessing data on your computer, even encrypted data, HP recommends that you
always turn o your computer instead of using the Sleep state anytime the computer will be out of your
physical possession. This practice is particularly important when you travel with your computer.
IMPORTANT: To reduce the risk of possible audio and video degradation, loss of audio or video playback
functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Sleep while reading from or writing to a disc or an external
media card.
Initiating and exiting Sleep
You can initiate Sleep in several ways.
● Select the Start button, select the Power icon, and then select Sleep.
● Close the display.
● Briey
press the power button.
You can exit Sleep in any of the following ways:
● Briey
press the power button.
● If the computer is closed, raise the display.
● Press a key on the keyboard.
● Tap the touchpad.
When the computer exits Sleep, your work returns to the screen.
IMPORTANT:
If you have set a password to be required on exiting Sleep, you must enter your Windows
password before your work returns to the screen.
