Powering down the computer

Factors to consider when choosing Standby:
❖ While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery
power. A fully charged main battery will last up to eight
hours in Standby mode.
❖ Restarting from Standby uses less time and battery power
than restarting from Turn off computer or Hibernation.
❖ 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 command and the main
battery discharges fully, your unsaved 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.

If you hold down the Shift key, Stand By becomes Hibernate in
the Turn off computer dialog box. To enter hibernation mode,
you must hold down the Shift key while you select Hibernate.
The computer saves the status of all open programs and files,
turns off the display, and goes into a low-power mode. The
on/off light blinks amber indicating the machine is in Standby
mode.
