Turning off the computer

❖ If the battery charge becomes critically low, the computer will

try to enter Hibernation mode.

If you power down using the Sleep command and the main battery

discharges fully, your unsaved information will be lost. Be sure to

save your work first.

For information on using Sleep, see “Using and configuring Sleep

mode” on page 96.
