Standby/Hibernation Functions
If you use the standby or hibernation function, you can shut down the computer without
closing programs and documents. When restarting your computer from either the standby or
hibernation mode, you can immediately continue working in all programs or documents that
were open at the time the computer was placed into standby or hibernation mode.
Differences between the Standby and Hibernation Functions

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

properly. To stabilize computer operations, shut down Windows on regularly basis
