Setup Actions tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver Utility located within the

Standby limitations
Standby will not function under the following conditions:
■ Power is turned back on immediately after shutting down.
■ Memory circuits are exposed to static electricity or electrical noise.
Hibernation Mode
The Hibernation Mode feature saves the contents of memory to the hard
disk when the computer is turned off. The next time the computer is turned
on, the previous state is restored. The Hibernation Mode feature does not
save the status of any peripheral devices.
Benefits of Hibernation Mode
The Hibernation Mode feature provides the following benefits:
■ Saves data to the hard disk when the computer automatically shuts
down because of a low battery.
You can also enable Standby by pressing Fn + F3. See Chapter 5, The
Keyboard , for details.
■ When the computer is shut down in Standby Mode, the power indicator
will blink orange.
■ If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen
the operating time by shutting down in Hibernation Mode. Standby
Mode consumes more power.
■ Save your data. While entering Hibernation Mode, the computer saves
the contents of memory to the hard disk drive. However, for safety
sake, it is best to save your data manually.
■ Data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor
before the save is completed. Wait for the HDD indicator to go out.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Hibernation Mode. Data will be lost.
