Standby or Hibernation Functions
The standby or hibernation functions allow you to shut off the computer without closing programs and documents. You can
quickly return to the programs and documents that you were working on before standby or hibernation.
1
Click [start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] -
[Advanced].

Select [Stand by] or [Hibernate] for [When I close the lid of my portable computer] / [When
I press the power button on my computer], and then click [OK].
NOTE
You do not need to make the setting if you use the Windows menu to enter standby or hibernation.
Connect the AC adaptor if the computer will be in standby mode for a long period of time. If you cannot use the AC adap-
tor, use hibernation instead.
Using standby or hibernation repeatedly may cause malfunction of the computer. To stabilize computer operation, restart
Windows regularly (about once a week) without using standby or hibernation.

Close files you have opened from removable disks and network drives.
The password you set in the Setup Utility is not requested at resuming. You can use the Windows password for security in
