Standby Mode
The computer consumes very low power in Standby mode. Data remain
intact in the system memory until the battery is drained.
There are four ways to enter Standby mode:
Pressing the Standby hot key Fn-F3
Allowing the waiting time specified by the Standby Time-out value or the
operating system to elapse without any system activity
Closing the display cover
When the computer is about to enter Hibernation mode (e.g., during a
battery low condition), but the Hibernation file is invalid or not present
Note: If the computer beeps but does not enter Standby mode after
pressing the Standby hot key, it means the operating system will
not allow the computer to enter the power-saving mode.
The following signals indicate that the computer is in Standby mode:
The buzzer beeps
The Standby indicator lights
Warning: Unstored data is lost when you turn off the computer power in
Standby mode or when the battery is drained.
To leave Standby mode and return to normal mode:
Press any key
Move the active pointing device (internal or external, PS/2 or serial)
Have the resume timer set and let it be matched
Open the display cover
Experience an incoming PC card modem event
