2 Power management Setting power options Using power-saving states The device has two power-saving states enabled at the factory: Standby and Hibernation. When Standby is initiated, the power light blinks and the screen clears. Your work is saved to memory. Exiting Standby is faster than exiting Hibernation. If the device is in Standby for an extended period or if the battery reaches a critical battery level while in Standby, the device initiates Hibernation.
Initiating and exiting Hibernation The system is set at the factory to initiate Hibernation after 30 minutes of inactivity when running on battery power or when the battery reaches a critical battery level. NOTE: The system will not initiate Hibernation when running on external power. NOTE: To reduce the risk of information loss, periodically save your work. Power settings and timeouts can be changed using Power Options in Windows Control Panel. To initiate Hibernation: 1.
Selecting a different power scheme ▲ Click the Power Meter icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar, and then select a power scheme from the list. – or – a. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options. b. Select a power scheme from the Power schemes list. c. Click OK. Customizing power schemes 1. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options. 2. Select a power scheme from the Power schemes list. 3.
When you connect the device to external AC power, the following events occur: ● The battery begins to charge. ● If the device is turned on, the battery meter icon in the notification area changes appearance. When you disconnect external AC power, the following events occur: ● The device switches to battery power. ● The display brightness is automatically decreased to save battery life. To increase display brightness, press the fn+f4 hotkey or reconnect the AC adapter.
NOTE: The display brightness is decreased to save battery life when you disconnect AC power. To increase display brightness, use the fn+f4 hotkey or reconnect the AC adapter. You can keep a battery in the device or in storage, depending on how you work. Keeping the battery in the device whenever the device is plugged into AC power charges the battery and also protects your work in case of a power outage.
4. Insert the battery into the battery bay (1) and rotate it downward until it is seated (2). The battery release latches (3) automatically lock the battery into place. To remove the battery: 1. Disconnect all external devices. 2. If the device is connected to AC power, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. 3. Turn the device upside down on a flat surface. 4. Slide the battery release latches (1) to release the battery. 5.
Charging may take longer if a battery is new, has been unused for 2 weeks or more, or is much warmer or cooler than room temperature. To prolong battery life and optimize the accuracy of battery charge displays, follow these recommendations: ● If you are charging a new battery, charge it fully before turning on the device. ● Charge the battery until the battery light turns off.
The device takes the following actions for a critical battery level: 18 ● If Hibernation is enabled and the device is on or in Standby, the device initiates Hibernation. ● If Hibernation is disabled and the device is on or in Standby, the device remains briefly in Standby, and then shuts down and loses any unsaved information.
Resolving a low battery level CAUTION: To reduce the risk of losing information when the device reaches a critical battery level and has initiated Hibernation, do not restore power until the power lights turn off. Resolving a low battery level when external power is available ▲ Connect one of the following devices: ● AC adapter ● Optional expansion product or docking device ● Optional power adapter Resolving a low battery level when a charged battery is available 1.
To fully charge the battery: 1. Insert the battery into the device. 2. Connect the device to an AC adapter, optional power adapter, optional expansion product, or optional docking device, and then plug the adapter or device into external power. The battery light on the device turns on. 3. Leave the device plugged into external power until the battery is fully charged. The battery light on the device turns off. Step 2: Disable Hibernation and Standby 1.
Step 4: Fully recharge the battery To recharge the battery: 1. Plug the device into external power and maintain external power until the battery is fully recharged. When the battery is recharged, the battery light on the device turns off. You can use the device while the battery is recharging, but the battery will charge faster if the device is off. 2. If the device is off, turn it on when the battery is fully charged and the battery light has turned off.
Refer to the Regulatory, Safety and Environmental Notices for battery disposal information. Shutting down the device CAUTION: Unsaved information will be lost when the device is shut down. The Shut Down command closes all open programs, including the operating system, and then turns off the display and device.

11 Backup and recovery To protect your information, back up your files and folders. In case of system failure, you can use the backup files to restore your device. NOTE: In case of system instability, HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and save them for later use.
Backing up your information Successful recovery after a system failure depends on whether you have completely backed up your files. You should create your initial backup immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup. You can back up individual files or folders to an external hard drive (purchased separately). When to back up ● On a regularly scheduled basis.
Performing a recovery In case of system failure or instability, the device provides the following ways to recover your files: ● Windows recovery tools: You can use the Windows Backup utility to recover information you have previously backed up. ● Operating System and Driver Recovery discs (included with your device): You can use the discs to recover your operating system and programs installed at the factory.
9. After the operating system is installed, remove the Operating System disc and insert the Driver Recovery disc. 10. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers and programs. 11. Restore your personal files.
12 Updating software Updated versions of the software provided with your device may be available on the HP Web site. Most software and BIOS updates on the HP Web site are packaged in compressed files called SoftPaqs. Some download packages contain a file named Readme.txt, which contains information regarding installing and troubleshooting the file. To update the software, follow these steps, which are explained in the remainder of this guide: 1.
Updating the BIOS To update the BIOS, first determine what BIOS version you currently have and then download and install the new BIOS. Determining the BIOS version To determine whether available BIOS updates contain later BIOS versions than those currently installed on the device, you need to know the version of the system BIOS currently installed. BIOS version information (also known as ROM date and System BIOS) can be displayed by opening the Setup Utility. To display the BIOS information: 1.
Make a note of the path to the location on your hard drive where the BIOS update will be downloaded. You will need to access this path when you are ready to install the update. NOTE: If you connect your device to a network, consult the network administrator before installing any software updates, especially system BIOS updates. BIOS installation procedures vary. Follow any instructions that are displayed on the screen after the download is complete. If no instructions are displayed, follow these steps: 1.
Updating programs and drivers To download and install software other than a BIOS update, follow these steps: 1. Access the page on the HP Web site that provides software for your device: Select Start > Help and Support, and then select the software and drivers update. 2. Follow the instructions on the screen to find the software you want to update. 3. At the download area, select the software you want to download and follow the instructions on the screen.
