Hibernation Mode

Benefits of Hibernation Mode
The Hibernation Mode feature provides the following benefits:

down because of a low battery.
■ You can return to your previous working environment immediately when
you turn on the computer.
■ When the computer is shut down in Standby Mode, the power indicator
blinking orange.
■ If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen
the operating time by shutting down in Hibernation Mode. Standby
Mode consumes more power.
■ Save your data. While entering Hibernation Mode, the computer saves
the contents of memory to the hard disk drive. However, for safety
sake, it is best to save your data manually.
■ Data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor
before the save is completed. Wait for the HDD indicator to go out.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Hibernation Mode. Data will be lost.
For the computer to shut down in Hibernation Mode, this feature must be
enabled in two places: the Hibernate tab in Power Options and Setup
Actions tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
If you do not configure this feature, the computer will shut down in Standby
Mode - if battery power becomes depleted, data saved in Standby Mode
will be lost.
