Power Management for Windows 98
The following power management features are available for conserving AC \
power and extending battery operating time:
Power Management Settings
l   
Sleepl   
Hibernationl   
Battery operating timel   
Rebooting After a Lockupl   
Servicing Your Computer - Full Off Model   
Power Management Settings
Depending on your patterns of computer use, you can set different levels\
 of power management. These different power 
management levels can be activated based on the amount of time passed si\
nce the last system activity. System activity 
examples include keyboard or mouse movement, CD or DVD playback (while \
under program control that monitors Sleep), 
and modem use. 
You can select different conditions or power schemes through Power Manag\
ement.The optional settings are  Home/Office
Desk , Portable/ Laptop , and Always On . From the default settings, you can change the following settings:
the System goes to Sleep (Standby) mode
l   
the screen times out and goes blankl   
the hard drive spins downl   
Each of these system components will go to sleep after the selected or d\
efault periods of inactivity. (The setting for hard 
drive must be less than or equal to the setting for System.)
IMPORTANT: If you’re on a network, it’s recommended that you set  System Standby to Never
.
There are five categories of power management settings under the Control\
 Panel. The default setting for each feature is 
listed below in the tables.

Sleep
You can select Sleep mode instead of turning off the computer when you h\
ave finished using it. This allows the computer to 
wake up faster than turning it completely off and saves power over the a\
ctive (On) mode. Compaq Prosignia Series 
Notebook computers have two levels of sleep, Hibernation and Sleep. 
Hibernation  – by pushing the power button once your computer will perform a save\
 to disk followed by a shut down of the
computer into Off mode. 
Sleep  – is a low power mode, also referred to as Standby mode. While in Sl\
eep mode, your computer will maintain system
information and open files. Unsaved information will be lost if you turn\
 off your system prior to system wake-up, or if you 
lose power while using the AC adapter.
CAUTION:   While in Sleep mode, your computer will maintain system informat\
ion and open files. Unsaved
information will be lost if you turn off your system prior to system wak\
e-up, or if you lose power while using 
the AC adapter.
 
Hibernation Mode
Hibernation helps conserve battery life and protects your data. Hibernat\
ion can be a routine power saving event, or can be 
the result of a low battery condition. As it enters Hibernation your com\
puter will display a progress screen, as it 
automatically saves the machine state before it shuts down and turns its\
elf off. Your computer will automatically go into 
Hibernation, when the battery has little power left, or when the system \
(operating on battery power) has been in Sleep 
mode for more than an hour. You can also manually initiate Hibernation b\
y pressing the power button once while the 
system is active. To restore the computer’s previous state, simply pr\
ess the power button once again. While waking up, the 
computer will display a progress screen. 
The following table shows the conditions and indicators for getting in a\
nd out of the various power management modes, 
Sleep, Hibernation, and Off.

Servicing Your Computer, Full Off Mode
If you need to install or replace components in your system, you must tu\
rn the computer off  completely. Follow the
instructions above for properly putting the computer into Off mode, unpl\
ug from the outlet, and remove the battery  (see
battery section for instruction on removing battery).
 
Rebooting After a Lockup
Occasionally you may encounter a frozen keyboard or a locked screen. To \
reboot your computer (as if from a cold start) 
press and hold down the Power Button for at least four seconds, which wi\
ll cause a manual shutdown. Then, restart it with a 
single press of the Power Button. If it still doesn’t recover, press \
the Power Button and hold it for four seconds to shut it 
down, then, remove the battery or unplug the AC power for at least 30 se\
conds. Reinsert the battery or reconnect AC power 
and press the Power Button once to reboot.
