To enter standby mode, press Fn+F4.
Note: If you are using the ACPI operating system, you can change the action of

operation with the keyboard, the TrackPoint
®
, the hard disk, the parallel
connector, or the diskette drive within that time.
v If the battery indicator blinks orange, indicating that the battery power is low.
(Alternatively, if Hibernate when battery becomes low has been selected in the

mode.)
To cause the computer to return from standby mode and resume operation, do one
of the following:

operation mode.
