Using power-management features
Your computer supports the system Standby feature. This feature lets the
computer enter a low-power state to conserve energy. You can put the
system in Standby mode in three ways:
Ÿ
Using the Windows 98 Start menu
Ÿ
Using the Standby button on the Rapid Access II keyboard
Ÿ
Using the power button
When the computer is put in standby mode, programs that are running go
into a standby state, but are not shut down. The monitor screen goes blank,
but the power indicator light on the computer flashes to indicate the
computer is in standby mode.
Using the Windows 98 Start menu
Follow these steps to put the system in standby mode using Windows 98:
1. From your Windows 98 desktop, click the Start button.
2. Click Shutdown.
3. Click Stand by.
4. Click OK.
Using the Standby button on the keyboard
If you are using the Rapid Access II keyboard, you can put the system in
Standby mode by pressing the Standby button located at the top of the
keyboard.
To bring the system out of Standby mode, press any key on the keyboard,
move the mouse, or press the computer power button for less than 4
seconds.
Using the power button
Windows 98 enables you set your power button to one of two modes:
shutdown or standby. Your computer is preset to the shutdown mode; that
is, when you press the power button your system power turns off without
Windows 98 performing an orderly shutdown. To change the power-button
mode, do the following:
1. From the Windows desktop, click the Start button.
2. Select Settings; then, click Control Panel.
3. Double-click the Power Management icon. The Power Management
Properties window opens.
