Initiating Standby (fn+f3)
When the notebook is on, press the fn+f3 hotkey to initiate
standby. When standby is initiated, your work is saved in random
access memory (RAM), the screen is cleared, and power is
conserved. While the notebook is in standby, the power/standby
light blinks.
To resume from standby:
» Press the power/standby button.
The
fn+f3 hotkey is set at the factory to initiate standby. The
function of the
fn+f3 hotkey, called the “sleep button” in
Windows, can be changed. For example, the
fn+f3 hotkey can
be set to initiate hibernation instead of standby. For more
information about standby, hibernation, and changing the
function of the
fn+f3 hotkey, refer to Chapter 2, “Power.”
