Benefits of standby
The standby feature provides the following benefits:
■ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does
hibernation.
■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer
receives no input or hardware access for the duration set by the
System Standby feature.
■ You can use the panel power off feature.
Executing standby
You can also enable Standby by pressing Fn + F3. See Chapter 5, The
Keyboard, for details.
You can enter standby mode in one of three ways:
1. Click start, click Turn Off Computer and click Standby.
2. Close the display panel. This feature must be enabled. Refer to the
Setup Action tab in Power Saver Utility described in the Control Panel.
Open Performance and Maintenance and open TOSHIBA Power
Saver.
3. Press the power button. This feature must be enabled. Refer to the
Setup Action tab in Power Saver Utility described in the Control Panel.
Open Performance and Maintenance and open TOSHIBA Power
Saver.
When you turn the power back on, you can continue where you left when
you shut down the computer.
When the computer is shut down in standby mode, the power indicator
flashes orange.
If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen the
operating time by shutting down in hibernation mode. Standby mode
consumes more power.
Standby limitations
Standby will not function under the following conditions:
■ Power is turned back on immediately after shutting down.
■ Memory circuits are exposed to static electricity or electrical noise.
