GETTING STARTED
3-10
CAUTION: Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately.
Wait a moment to let all capacitors fully discharge.
Standby mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you can turn off the power without exiting from
your software. Data is maintained in the computer’s main memory. When you turn
on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
CAUTIONS: 1. Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data.
2. Do not install or remove a memory module while the
computer is in standby mode. The computer or the
module could be damaged.
3. Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in
standby mode (unless the computer is connected to an
AC power source). Data in memory will be lost.
4. If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a
hospital, be sure to shut down the computer in hiberna-
tion mode or in shutdown mode to avoid radio signal
interference.
Benefits of standby
The standby feature provides the following benefits:
❑ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does hiberna-
tion.
❑ 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
NOTE: You can also enable Standby by pressing Fn + F3. See Chapter
5, Keyboard, for details.
You can enter standby mode in one of three ways:
1. Click start, click Turn Off Computer and click Stand by.
