In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn off specific devices, your computer has three distinct power saving modes: System Idle, System Suspend and System Hibernation. When using battery power, you should be aware that the computer automatically enters System Hibernation mode when the remaining battery charge drops approximately 7% (with PCGA-BPZ51), regardless of the power management setting you select. If your battery level falls to less than 10%, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully charged battery. Normal Mode This is the normal state of your computer when it is in use. The green power indicator light is on in this mode. To save power, you can turn off a specific device such as the LCD or the hard disk. For details, see "Controlling Power Management" in the online document Customizing Your VAIO® Z505 SuperSlim ProTM Notebook. System Idle Mode This mode is convenient if you do not need to use your computer for a brief period. The hard disk and video display enter a low power state, and the CPU clock and processor stop. The power indicator light is tan in this mode. To activate System Idle mode Press Fn+S. You can also use the PowerPanel utility to enter System Idle mode. To return to normal mode Press any key. Using Power Saving Modes 35 System Suspend Mode The computer saves the current state of the system in RAM and switches off power to the CPU. The tan power indicator light flashes in this mode. To activate System Suspend mode Press Fn+Esc. You can also use the PowerPanel utility to enter System Suspend mode. To return to normal mode Press any key. System Hibernation Mode The state of the system is saved on the hard drive and power is turned off. The power indicator light is off in this mode. To activate System Hibernation mode Press Fn+F12. You can also use the PowerPanel utility to enter System Hibernation mode. To return to normal mode Turn on the computer by sliding the power switch forward. The computer returns to its previous state. When returning from System Hibernation mode, the system status stored on the hard disk is erased and the computer starts normally if you slide the power switch forward and hold for more than four seconds. u Time to return to normal mode: System Idle requires less time than System Suspend, and System Suspend requires less time than System Hibernation. u Power consumption: System Idle uses more power than System Suspend, and System Suspend uses more power than System Hibernation. 36 VAIO Z505 SuperSlim Pro Notebook User Guide Connecting Peripheral Devices You can add functionality to your computer by connecting any of these peripherals: u u Phone line (page 37) Port replicator (page 39) u u u Printer (page 41) External display (page 42) Desktop computer or serial device (page 44) u u u u CD-ROM drive (page 46) i.
