Chapter 3 Using the Motion C5 31
Using Hibernate
Hibernation is a state in which the computer shuts down to save power but first saves
everything in memory on the hard disk. When you restart the computer, your desktop is
restored exactly as you left it. Use hibernation to save power when you will be away from
the computer for an extended time.
Hibernation has the following advantages over Standby:
• Hibernate saves the state of the desktop and applications.
• Hibernate consumes no battery power.
• When you return from the Hibernate state, you return to where you were when you
entered hibernation.
To enable Hibernation
1. Open Motion Dashboard to the Power panel (page 18).
2. Tap the Properties button.
3. In the Power Options Properties window, tap the Hibernate tab.
4. Select Enable Hibernation.

2. Open Motion Dashboard to the Power panel (page 18).
