    							6 Managing power
    Your computer can operate on either battery power or external power. When the computer is running
    on battery power only and an AC power source is not available to charge the battery, it is important to
    monitor and conserve the battery charge. Your computer supports an optimal power plan to manage
    how your computer uses and conserves power so that computer performance is balanced with power
    conservation.
    Initiating Sleep and Hibernation
    Microsoft® Windows has two power-saving states, Sleep and Hibernation.
    ●Sleep—The Sleep state is automatically initiated after a period of inactivity when running on
    battery power or on external power. Your work is saved to memory, allowing you to resume your
    work very quickly. You can also initiate Sleep manually. For more information, see 
    Manually
    initiating and exiting Sleep on page 39.
    ●Hibernation—The Hibernation state is automatically initiated if the battery reaches a critical level.
    In the Hibernation state, your work is saved to a hibernation file and the computer powers down.
    NOTE:You can manually initiate Hibernation. See Manually initiating and exiting Sleep
    on page 39 and Manually initiating and exiting Hibernation (select models only) on page 40.
    CAUTION:To reduce the risk of possible audio and video degradation, loss of audio or video
    playback functionality, or loss of information, do not initiate Sleep 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 computer functions
    while the computer is in the Sleep state or in Hibernation.
    Manually initiating and exiting Sleep
    You can initiate Sleep in any of the following ways:
    ●Close the display.
    ●From the Start screen, point to the upper-right or lower-right corner of the screen to reveal the
    charms. Click Settings, click the Power icon, and then click Sleep.
    To exit Sleep:
    ●Briefly press the power button.
    ●If the display is closed, open the display.
    ●Press a key on the keyboard.
    ●Tap or swipe the TouchPad.
    When the computer exits Sleep, the power lights turn on and your work returns to the screen.
    NOTE:If you have set a password to be required on wakeup, you must enter your Windows
    password before the computer will return to the screen.

    password before your work will return to the screen.

    Using the power meter and power settings
    The power meter is located on the Windows desktop. The power meter allows you to quickly access
    power settings and view the remaining battery charge.
    ●To reveal the percentage of remaining battery charge and the current power plan, on the
    Windows desktop, point over the power meter icon.
    ●To use Power Options, click the power meter icon and select an item from the list. From the
    Start screen, you can also type power, select Settings, and then select Power Options.
    Different power meter icons indicate whether the computer is running on battery or external power.
    The icon also reveals a message if the battery has reached a low or critical battery level.
    Running on battery power
    When a charged battery is in the computer and the computer is not plugged into external power, the
    computer runs on battery power. If the computer has a charged battery installed and the AC adapter
    is disconnected from the computer, the computer automatically switches to battery power and the
