Chapter 3 Using your Tablet PC 41
Using Hibernate
Hibernation is a state in which your computer shuts down to save power but first saves
everything in memory on your hard disk. When you restart the computer, your desktop is
restored exactly as you left it. Use hibernation to save power when you will be away from
the computer for an extended time.
Hibernation has the following advantages over Sleep:
• You should save and close any remote files or applications before hibernating.
• Hibernate saves the state of the desktop and applications
• Hibernate consumes no battery power
• When you return from the Hibernate state, you return to where you were when you
entered hibernation.
To put your computer on Hibernate
1. Ensure that Hibernate is enabled.
2. Open Motion Dashboard to the Power panel (page 24).
3. Do one or more of the following:
• For Power Switch on battery, select Hibernate.
• For Power Switch plugged in, select Hibernate.
4. To put your computer on Hibernate, press the power button.
To turn your computer back on, press the power button.
Using the battery
The Tablet PC runs on battery power when it is not plugged in. The battery, included with
the Tablet PC, is installed on the back of the Tablet PC. To increase battery life, you can
install a second battery in any of the two battery bays. If a second battery is not installed, a
non-functioning battery bay cartridge is provided to occupy the second battery bay. For
more information, go to the Motion Computing accessories page at
www.motioncomputing.com/accessories.
Checking battery power
You can check the remaining battery power from Motion Dashboard, from the battery icon
in the notification area, or from the battery itself.
To check the remaining battery power
• Open Motion Dashboard to the Power panel (page 24).
