Using Standby Mode
Standby mode places the computer into a power-saving
mode. Standby holds the current state of the computer in
memory so that, when you restart the computer, you can
continue working from where you left off.
Factors to consider when choosing Standby:
❖ While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery
power. The battery will eventually discharge in Stand by
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 the Standby and the battery
discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to save
your work first.
To power down the computer using the Standby command,
click Start, Turn off computer, and select Stand
By.
