Getting Started
Data save in hibernation mode
When you turn off the power in hibernation mode, the computer takes a
moment to save current memory data to the hard disk. During this time,
the Built-in Hard Disk Drive indicator will light.
After you turn off the computer and memory is saved to the hard disk,
turn off the power to any peripheral devices.
Standby mode
In standby mode the power remains on, but the CPU and all other devices
are in sleep mode.
Standby precautions
■ Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data.
■ Do not remove/install memory or remove power components:
■ Do not remove/install memory modules - the computer or module
could be damaged.
■ Do not remove the Battery Pack.
In any of the above cases, the standby configuration will not be saved.
■ If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a hospital, be sure
to shut down the computer in hibernation 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
hibernation.
■ 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.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
■ If the computer is not used or accessed in any way, including receipt of
e-mail, for approximately 15 or 30 minutes when the AC adapter is
connected, the computer will automatically enter Standby mode
(TOSHIBA Power Saver default).
■ To restore operation, press the power button.
■ If the computer automatically enters Standby mode while a network
application is active, the application might not be restored when the
computer wakes up from Standby.
■ To prevent the computer from automatically entering Standby Mode
disable Standby in the TOSHIBA Power Saver utility. However, please
note that making this change will nullify the computer’s Energy Star
compliance.
