Getting Started

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 the

module itself could be damaged.

Do not remove the battery pack.

In any of the above cases, the data being maintained by Standby Mode

will be lost.

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

Hibernation Mode.

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.

If the computer is not used or accessed in any way, including areas

such as the receipt of an e-mail, for approximately 15 or 30 minutes

when the AC adapter is connected, it will automatically enter Standby

Mode. This function is the default setting within the TOSHIBA Power

Saver utility.

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

you should disable the Standby feature within the TOSHIBA Power

Saver utility. However, please note that disabling this feature will mean

the computer is not longer Energy Star compliant.
