Stand By command
The Stand by puts the computer into a power-saving mode.
Stand by 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 when choosing Stand by:
While in Stand by 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 Stand by
mode.
Restarting from Stand by 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 Stand by and the battery
discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to save
your work first.
For more information about the Stand by, see “Using Stand
by” on page 103. For information about going into Stand by
mode more quickly, see “Going into Stand by mode more
quickly” on page 103.
Turning off more quickly
You can also turn off the computer by pressing the power
button or closing the display panel.
To use either of these methods, you first need to turn on the
feature in the Toshiba Power Management Utility.
