Standby/Hibernation Functions
If you want to immediately start up and continue an application after shutting down your
computer, you can do so by using either the standby or hibernation function.
Starting Up Your Computer Quickly
If the computer will not be operated for an extended period of time, it is recom-
mended that hibernation mode be used instead of the standby mode.
If the standby or hibernation function is used repeatedly, the computer may not
work properly. To stabilize computer operations, we recommend shutting down
Windows on a regular basis (about once a week) without using the standby or
hibernation function.
