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 computer is in standby, the power lights blink.
■ To initiate standby, the computer must be on. If the computer
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 button.
For more information about using standby and hibernation, refer
to Chapter 3, “Power.”
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 in Chapter 3, “Power.”
