Setting your UMPC on Sleep or Hibernate mode
If you want a quick and simple way to conserve power, you can set your UMPC on
Sleep or Hibernate mode:
• Sleep is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR). This function stores your current
data and status in RAM while many components are turned OFF. Because RAM is
volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data.
• Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current data and
status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically
refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated
because certain wake-up components like LAN needs to remain powered.
“Hibernate” saves more power compared to “Sleep”.
To set your UMPC on Sleep or Hibernate mode:
1. From your UMPC screen, go to Start.
2. Click the arrow next to the lock icon to display the
menu.
3. From the menu, select either Sleep or Hibernate.

This is a Class B product, in a domestic environment, this product may cause radio
interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
IC Radiation Exposure Statement for Canada
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. To maintain compliance with IC RF exposure compliance requirements,
please avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna during transmitting. End users
must follow the specic operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause interference and
• This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service (i.e. co-channel Mobile Satellite
systems) this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows
to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed
outdoors is subject to licensing.
Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority)
in 5250-5350 MHz, these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license
exempt LAN devices.
