Using Standby mode
If you plan to stop using your computer for a short period of time (not overnight), you can put it into
Standby mode instead of turning it off completely. Putting the computer into Standby mode saves energy
and allows a quick return to normal computer use.
To activate Standby mode manually, proceed as follows:
1 Save your work, close all applications and close your Internet connection, if applicable.
2 From the Start menu on the Windows taskbar, select Turn Off Computer.
Alternatively, press <Alt>+<F4> to get to the same dialog box.
3 Select Stand By.
The computer goes into Standby mode, indicated by the amber light of the power indicator.
To return to Normal mode, press any key on the keyboard.
✍ You can leave Windows running when using Standby.
When the computer is in Standby mode, you cannot insert a disc.
The computer comes out of Standby mode quicker than out of Hibernate mode and uses more power.
