Power management
To reduce power consumption, the computer has three power management modes: screen blank, standby, and hibernation.
Notes v Screen blank mode is called standby mode in Windows 95 and Windows NT. v Standby mode is called suspend mode in Windows 95 and Windows NT.
Screen blank mode
Screen blank mode has three variants, as follows: 1. If you press Fn + F3, or the time set on the LCD off timer in SONY BIOS Setup Utility expires, v The LCD backlight turns off. If you are using the ACPI operating system and you press Fn + F3, v The LCD backlight turns off. v If you are using the APM operating system and have set the mode to Hibernate when battery becomes low, and the battery charge becomes critically low. Note: If you are using the ACPI operating system, you can define closing the lid, pressing the Power button and pressing Fn + F4 as events that cause the system to go into hibernation mode. When the power is turned on, the computer returns from hibernation mode and resumes operation. The hibernation file in the boot record on the hard-disk drive is read, and system status is restored from the hard-disk drive.
