Power

Selecting a Power Source

The tablet PC can run on internal power from a charged battery

pack or on external power. External power can be obtained from:

■An AC electrical outlet, by using the AC adapter.

Only the AC adapter provided with the tablet PC, a

replacement AC adapter provided by Compaq, or an

AC adapter purchased as an option from Compaq should

be used with the tablet PC.

■A vehicle cigarette lighter receptacle, by using an optional

Automobile Power Adapter/Charger.

■The in-seat power supply available on some commercial

aircraft, by using an optional Auto/Air Cable.

■A DC electrical outlet, by using an optional DC cable.

Select a power source from the following table that supports the

way you plan to use the tablet PC.

Software Guide 1–3

Understanding Standby and Hibernation

Standby and Hibernation are energy-saving features that conserve

power and reduce startup time. They can be initiated by you or by

the system.

Standby

Standby reduces power to system components that are not in use.

When Standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access

memory (RAM) and the screen is cleared. When you resume

from Standby, your work returns to the screen where you left off.

Hibernation

Hibernation saves your work in RAM to a hibernation file on the

hard drive, then shuts down the tablet PC. When you resume from

Hibernation, your work returns to the screen where you left off.

Compaq recommends that you save your work before initiating

Hibernation whenever:

■You plan to dock, undock, or connect an external device to

the tablet PC while it is in Hibernation.

■You may need to resume from Hibernation from a nearly

discharged battery pack.

If a power-on password is set, the password must be entered to

resume from Hibernation.

Hibernation is enabled by default, but can be disabled (usually,

to save space on the hard drive). Disabling Hibernation is not

recommended. When Hibernation is disabled, system-initiated

Hibernation cannot save your work if the tablet PC reaches a

critical low-battery condition while it is on or in Standby.

To verify that Hibernation is enabled, select Start > Control

Panel > Performance and Maintenance icon > Power Options

icon > Hibernate tab. If Hibernation is enabled, the Enable

Hibernation check box is selected.

1–4 Software Guide

Power

Choosing Standby, Hibernation or

Shutdown

When You Leave Your Work

If you plan to resume shortly: Initiating Standby clears the screen,

uses less power than leaving the tablet PC on, and your work

returns quickly to the screen when you resume from Standby. A

fully charged new battery pack can support Standby for up to

3 days. A battery pack that has been frequently charged and

discharged will support Standby for less time.

If you plan to resume within 2 weeks: Initiating Hibernation clears

the screen, saves your work to the hard drive, and uses much less

power than Standby. Returning to work saved in Hibernation

takes longer than returning to work saved in Standby, but is faster

than returning to your place manually after restarting the

tablet PC. A fully charged battery pack supports Hibernation for

up to 3 months.

If the tablet PC will be disconnected from external power for

more than 1 month: Shutting down the tablet PC and removing

the battery pack extends the useful life of the battery pack.

Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. For more battery pack

storage information, refer on this CD to the Hardware Guide,

“Battery Packs” chapter, “Storing a Battery Pack.”

When the Power Supply Is Uncertain

If power is interrupted while the tablet PC is in Standby, your

unsaved work is saved for up to 1 minute. Any data not saved

during this time will be lost. If power is interrupted while the

tablet PC is in Hibernation, your unsaved work is protected.

Power may be interrupted if the tablet PC is running on external

power from an unreliable power source, on battery power from a

failing battery pack, or during battery pack replacement. If you pause

your work when the power supply is uncertain, Compaq recommends

that you initiate Hibernation or shut down the tablet PC.
