Waking up your notebook
When you do not use your notebook for several minutes, or if you close the
LCD panel without turning your notebook off, it may enter a power-saving
mode called Standby. While in Standby, the power indicator flashes.
If your notebook is in Standby mode, pressing the power button to “wake” it
up. For more information on changing power-saving settings, see “Changing
power settings” on page 157.
