Getting Started

After you turn off the computer and memory is saved to the hard disk, turn

off the power to any peripheral devices.

Standby mode

If you have to interrupt your work, you can turn off the power without exiting

from your software. Data is maintained in the computer’s main memory.

When you turn on the power again, you can continue working right where

you left off.

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.

When the AC adaptor is connected, the computer will go into Standby

mode according to the settings in the TOSHIBA Power Saver utility.

To restore operation from Standby mode, press the power button or

press any key. The latter action works only if Wake-up on Keyboard is

enabled in HW Setup.

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 TOSHIBA Power Saver. That action, however, will

nullify the computer’s Energy Star compliance.

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 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 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.
