Factors when choosing Standby:
❖ While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery
power. The battery will eventually discharge in Standby
mode. If the battery discharges, your data will be lost if
you do not save your work before entering Standby
mode.
❖ Restarting from Standby mode uses less time and battery
power than restarting from Turn Off or Hibernation
mode.
❖ When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were using.
If you power down using Standby and the battery discharges
fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to save your work
first.
For more information about the Standby, see “Using
Standby” on page 112. For information about going into
Standby mode more quickly, see “Going into Standby mode
more quickly” on page 114.
