Setting power options
Using power-saving states
The device has two power-saving states enabled at the factory: Suspend and Hibernation.
When Suspend is initiated, the power light blinks and the screen clears. Your work is saved to memory.
Exiting Suspend is faster than exiting Hibernation. If the device is in Suspend for an extended period or
if the battery reaches a critical battery level while in Suspend, the device initiates Hibernation.
When Hibernation is initiated, your work is saved to a hibernation file on the drive and the device turns
off.
CAUTION:
functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Suspend or Hibernation while reading from or writing
to a disc or an external media card.
NOTE:
You cannot initiate any type of networking connection or perform any functions while the device
is in Suspend or in Hibernation.
Initiating and exiting Suspend
The system is set at the factory to initiate Suspend after 10 minutes of inactivity when running on battery power and
25 minutes of inactivity when running on external power.
