For more information about Power Saver, see “Power Saver” on
page 175.
NOTE: When using Standby or Hibernation mode, save your
files and make sure the disk activity lights are off before you
turn off the computer. If you change your mind and decide to
continue working after all, wait a few seconds before turning
on the computer again.
Using Standby command
Use Standby when you know you will resume work again soon
(within eight hours if you start with a fully-charged battery).
Standby stores the current state of the computer in memory until
you turn on the computer again. The computer uses power
supplied by the backup battery to store this information.
TECHNICAL NOTE: If the battery discharges fully (which will
happen if you leave the computer in Standby mode and
unplugged for over eight hours), your information will be
lost. So, you should save all your work before you turn off
the power with Standby command enabled.
To shut down the computer using Standby:
1 Open the Start menu and click Shut Down.
2 Select Stand by and Click OK.
