Benefits of Standby Mode
The Standby Mode feature provides the following benefits:
■ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does the
Hibernation Mode feature.
■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives
no input or hardware access for the time period set by the System
Standby Mode feature.
■ Allows the use of the panel power off feature.
Executing Standby Mode
You can enter Standby Mode in one of three ways:
1. Click Windows Start button, click Turn Off Computer, and then click
Stand By. This feature must be enabled.
2. Close the display panel. This feature must be enabled.
3. Press the power button. This feature must be enabled.
When you turn the power back on, you can continue where you left when
you shut down the computer.
■ Before entering Standby Mode, be sure to save your data.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Standby Mode. The computer or the memory module could be
damaged.
■ 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 could be lost.
■ To enable or disable wireless communication, use the Hot Key
FN + F8. For more information see the Hot keys section in Chapter 5.
■ You can disable Wireless communication in BIOS Setup or HW Setup.
After disabling the wireless communication, confirm the Wireless
communication indicator is turned off. If the Wireless communication
indicator is turned on, the wireless communication is enabled and
radio waves from the computer may affect electronic devices. For
details of BIOS Setup and HW Setup, please refer to Chapter 7.
You can also enable Standby Mode by pressing FN + F3 - please refer to
Chapter 5, The Keyboard , for further details.
■ When the computer is in Standby Mode, the Power indicator will blink
amber.
■ If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen
the overall operating time by turning it off into Hibernation Mode -
Standby Mode will consume more power while the computer is off.
