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.
Enabling Standby
You can enter standby mode in one of three ways:
1. Click Start, then Shut Down and then Stand by.
2. Close the display panel. This feature must be enabled. Refer to the
Setup Action tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver Utility described in the
Control Panel.
3. Press the power button. This feature must be enabled. Refer to the
Setup Action tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver Utility described in the
Control Panel.
When you turn the power back on, you can continue where you left when
you shut down the computer.
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
glows amber.
■ If you are running the computer on battery power, you can lengthen the
operating time by shutting down into Hibernation Mode. Standby Mode
consumes more power from the battery when the computer is switched
off.
