Initiate Standby (fn+f5)
The fn+f5 hotkey is set by default to initiate standby.
When standby is initiated, your work is saved in random access
memory (RAM), the screen clears, and power is conserved.
While the notebook is in standby, the power/standby lights blink.
■ To initiate standby, the notebook must be on. If the notebook
is in hibernation, you must restore from hibernation before
you can initiate standby.
■ To resume from standby or restore from hibernation, briefly
press the power/standby button.
For more information about using standby and hibernation, refer
to the “Standby, Hibernation and Shutdown Overviews” section.
The function of the
fn+f5 hotkey can be changed in the operating
system. For example, you can set the
fn+f5 hotkey to initiate
hibernation instead of standby. In all Windows operating system
windows, references to the sleep button apply to the
fn+f5 hotkey.
For information about changing the function of the
fn+f5 hotkey,
refer to the “Setting Other Power Preferences” section.
