Using
Standby
mode
If you plan to stop using your computer for a short period of time (not overnight), you can put it into
Standby
mode instead of turning it off completely. Putting the computer into
Standby
mode saves energy
and allows a quick return to normal computer use.
To activate
Standby
mode manually, proceed as follows:
1
Save your work, close all applications and close your Internet connection, if applicable.
2
From the
Start
menu on the Windows taskbar, select
Turn Off Computer
.
3
Select
Stand By
.
The computer goes into
Standby
mode, indicated by the amber light of the power indicator.
To return to
Normal
mode, press any key on the keyboard.
✍
You can leave Windows running when using
Standby
.
When the computer is in
Standby
mode, you cannot insert a disc.
The computer comes out of
Standby
mode quicker than out of
Hibernate
mode and uses more power.
