## Using Sleep Mode

In Sleep mode, all unnecessary devices of your VAIO computer are turned off, though some devices stay on to retain the computer’s state including data you are working on. Sleep mode is useful when you take a short rest, for example.

The power indicator light blinks slowly in orange while your VAIO computer is in this mode.

When the computer is running on battery power and a certain time has passed after the computer enters Sleep mode, the computer will enter Hibernate mode at the default setting.

#### To activate Sleep mode

1. Click(Start),(arrow) next to the Shut down button, and Sleep.

#### To return to Normal mode

1. Press the(Power) button.

#### Note

- If you press and hold down the(Power) button for more than four seconds, your VAIO computer will turn off automatically. Doing this will erase all unsaved data.

- If you do not intend to use your VAIO computer for an extended period of time while the computer is disconnected from an AC power source, place the computer into Sleep mode, or turn it off.

#### Hint

- The operation below also place your VAIO computer into Sleep mode.

  - Press the(Power) button (with the default setting).

    Note that if you press and hold down the(Power) button for more than four seconds, your VAIO computer will turn off automatically. Doing this will erase all unsaved data.
