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 Press the Standby button on the keyboard .
Alternatively, from the Start menu on the Windows taskbar, select Turn Off Computer and select
Stand By.
The computer goes into Standby mode, indicated by the amber light of the power indicator.
To return to Normal mode, press the Standby button or any other 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.
