Standby Mode
If you do have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power
without exiting from your software by placing the computer into Standby
Mode. In this mode data is maintained in the computer’s main memory so
that, when you turn on the power again, you can continue working right
where you left off.
■
Make sure the Hard Disk Drive indicator is off. If you turn off the power
while a disk (disc) is being accessed, you can lose data or damage the
disk.
■
Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so could
cause loss of data.
■
Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or
remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause data
loss.
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.
■
To restore the operation of the computer from Standby Mode, press the
power button or press any key. Please be aware that this latter action
only works on the internal keyboard if the Wake-up on Keyboard option
is enabled within the HW Setup utility.
■
If the computer enters Standby Mode while a network application is
active, the application might not be restored when the computer is next
switched on and the system returns from Standby Mode.
■
To prevent the computer from automatically entering Standby Mode,
disable Standby within the TOSHIBA Power Saver. However, please be
aware that this configuration 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.
