Working with the notebook
Using the energy saving functions
The notebook uses less energy when the possible energy saving functions are enabled. You will
then be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
You can also use energy saving modes such as Standby or Hibernate for times when you are not
using your notebook but want to keep coming back to it.
If you are connected to a network or the Internet, we advise you to turn off the energy
saving modes as they interrupt your connection.

When not using the notebook for long periods of time, first end the energy saving mode,
then switch off the notebook.
Never switch the notebook off while it is in an energy saving mode.
If the notebook is in an energy-saving mode:
● Do not connect any external devices.
● Do not disconnect any external devices.
● Do not attempt to switch the notebook on if the built-in battery is flat.
● Do not add or remove RAM.
● Do not install or remove a PC card or ExpressCard.
When you close the lid, the notebook automatically enters an energy-saving mode.
The energy saving functions can be activated under Start – Control Panel – Performance and
Maintenance – Power Options. Under Windows, Hibernate is activated by default.
