Hibernation
NOTE: Make sure that the hibernation feature is enabled in the “When I press the
power button,” “When I press the sleep button,” and “When I close the lid” of the Power
Options System Settings Properties from the Control Panel Mobile PC.
Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many
applications when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these
applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed
before the computer can be turned off.
When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the
applications. The computer stores the state of your computer to a file on
the hard disk and then shuts down. The next time you turn on your
computer, you return to exactly where you left off.

Power-Saving Tips
Aside from enabling your computer’s power saving mode (see previous
section), you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by
following these suggestions.
Do not disable Power Management. Choose a power plan that saves
power. A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings
that control how your computer manages power.
Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.
Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a
USB mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and
using the touchpad. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you
are not using it.
If you work with an application that uses an ExpressCard, exit the
application when you finish using it.
If you have an ExpressCard installed, remove it when not in use.
Some ExpressCards drain power even while they are inactive.
Deactivate the wireless LAN function if you are not using it.
(See Chapter 2.)
Deactivate the Bluetooth® wireless function if you are not using it.
(See Chapter 2.)
Turn off the computer when you are not using it.
