Using Standby Mode
Standby mode turns off the LCD screen and places the built-in storage device(s) and the CPU into a low power consumption
mode. The orange power indicator light blinks slowly in this mode.
!
If you do not intend to use your computer for a long period of time while it is disconnected from AC power, place the computer into Hibernate mode or
turn it off.
To activate Standby mode
1 Click Start and then Turn Off Computer.
2 Click Stand By.
Your computer comes out of Standby mode quicker than out of Hibernate mode.
Standby mode uses more power than Hibernate mode.
!
If the battery runs out of power while your computer is in Standby mode, you will lose all unsaved data. Going back to the previous work state is
impossible. To avoid loss of data, you should save your data frequently.
