Power Management for Windows 98

Hibernation Mode

Hibernation helps conserve battery life and protect your data. Hibernation can be a routine power saving event, or can be the result of a low battery condition. As it enters Hibernation, your computer displays a progress screen, as it automatically saves the machine state before it shuts down and turns itself off. Your computer  automatically goes 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 by pressing the power button once while the system is active. To restore the computer's previous state, simply press the power button once again. While waking up, the computer displays a progress screen.

The following table shows the conditions and indicators for getting in and out of the various power management modes—Sleep, Hibernation, and Off.
