Getting Started
Turning off the computer
Factors to consider when choosing Standby:
❖
While in Standby mode, the computer uses some main battery
power.
❖
The Standby command does not store unsaved information on
your hard disk. You should save your work before putting your
computer on Standby.
❖
Restarting from Standby takes less time and consumes less
main battery power than restarting from turning off the
computer or using Hibernation mode.
❖
When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode in
which you left it, including all open programs and files you
were using.
If you power down using the Standby command and the main battery
discharges fully, your unsaved information will be lost. Be sure to
save your work first.
