Using the system

Disposing of used batteries

A Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery should be disposed of at a hazardous materials recycling 
center when it is no longer serviceable. Do not throw it in a waste receptacle because the 
battery could be deposited in a landfill.

Using power management

Windows XP and Windows Vista include a comprehensive suite of power management 
functions that can help you maximize your tablet’s performance or conserve power.

1. Open Motion Dashboard to the Power panel (page 20).

2. For Power plan or Power scheme, select the appropriate option.

For more information, see the Dashboard Help.

Power management on Windows Vista

This section describes sleep and hibernate for tablets running Windows Vista. For 
information about creating and using power plans, see the Dashboard Help. For more 
information about power management settings, open Windows Help and Support and 
search for “power options”.

Using Sleep

Windows Vista offers a feature called Sleep that combines the benefits of Standby and 
Hibernate. When you put your tablet to sleep, your work is saved to the hard disk. When 
your tablet wakes, Windows restores your previous work session within seconds.

You can put your tablet to sleep manually from the Start button, or you can set it up to go to 
sleep when you press the power switch.

1. Open Motion Dashboard to the Power panel (page 20).

2. Select one or both of the following:

•

For Power switch on battery, select Sleep.

•

For Power switch plugged in, select Sleep.

3. To put the computer to sleep, press the power switch.

To resume your work, press the power switch again.

Note: This feature is available on Windows Vista only.
