+      This line represents the amount of power that is either being used to
+      charge the batteries in the system, or the power being used by the system
+      from the batteries.
+      You should see the line go up when processor intensive tasks are

+      <para>
+        You do will not receive rate data from your computer if it is not

+        This is due to hardware limitations where the rate is only sent from

+    <para>
+      The Suspend state is a power saving feature which is the lowest level of
+      power consumption that preserves program data in the computer's memory.
+      When your computer is in the Suspended state, computation will not be
+      performed until normal activity is resumed.
+      It will not resume until signaled by an external event such as a keyboard
+      button press.
+      It generally takes a few seconds to suspend and then resume your computer.
+    </para>
+    <caution>
+      <para>
+        You still use a small amount of battery power while suspended, so is
+        not recommended for the low power action.
+        If you remove AC power on a desktop, or run out of battery power on a
+        laptop then you will lose your work.
+      </para>
+    </caution>
+    <para>
+      The Hibernation state saves the complete state of the computer to hard
+      disk and turns off the power, so that the computer appears to be off.
+      It will not resume until signaled by an external event such as a
+      keyboard button press.
+      This is the lowest power sleeping state available.
+      If you remove AC power on a desktop, or run out of battery power on a
+      laptop then work will not be lost.
+      It can take up to a minute or more to hibernate and wake your computer.
