Getting Started
Standby Mode
In Standby mode the power remains on, but the processor and all other
devices are in standby mode.
Benefits of Standby Mode
The Standby Mode feature provides the following benefits:
■
Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does the
Hibernation Mode feature.
■
Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives
no input or hardware access for the time period set by the System
Standby Mode feature.
■
Allows the use of the panel power off feature.
Turning Off Your Computer where Electronic Devices are Regulated or
Controlled.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always shut down
the computer completely or put the computer into Hibernation mode
instead of allowing it to go into Standby Mode. Also ensure that you
disable wireless communication and turn off any wireless communication
devices. While in Standby Mode the computer operating system may
reactivate itself to run pre-programmed tasks or to preserve unsaved data,
and might interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing
serious injury.
■
Before entering Standby Mode, be sure to save your data.
■
Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Standby Mode. The computer or the memory module could be
damaged.
■
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby Mode
(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in
memory could be lost.
■
To enable or disable wireless communication, use the Hot Key
FN
+
F8
. For more information see the
section in Chapter 5.
Each time you restart or reboot your computer, wireless
communication is reset to enabled (ON) by default.
■
You can disable Wireless communication in BIOS Setup. After
disabling the wireless communication function, confirm the Wireless
communication indicator is turned off. If the Wireless communication
indicator is turned on, the wireless communication is enabled and
radio waves from the computer may affect electronic devices. For
details of BIOS Setup, please refer to Chapter 7.
