Standby/Hibernation Functions
Starting Up Your Computer Quickly
We recommend plugging in the AC adaptor if the standby function is to be
used for a long period of time. If the AC adaptor cannot be connected, we
recommend that hibernation mode be used instead of the standby mode.
If the standby or hibernation function is used repeatedly, the computer may
not work properly. To stabilize computer operations, we recommend shutting
down Windows on a regular basis (about once a week) without using the
standby or hibernation function.
NOTE
Use any of the following methods to enter the standby or hibernation mode.
To use the hibernation mode, make the setting below in advance. (Enabled in factory
preset.)

Differences between the standby and hibernation functions
If you want to immediately start up and continue an application after shutting down your
computer, you can do so by using either the standby or hibernation function.
