Standby/Hibernation Functions
Starting Up Your Computer Quickly
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.
If the standby or hibernation function is used repeatedly, the computer may
not work properly. To stabilize computer operations, we recommend shutting
down Windows on a regular basis (about once a week) without using the
standby or hibernation function.
NOTE
Use any of the following methods to enter the standby or hibernation mode.
To use the hibernation mode, make the setting below in advance. (Enabled in factory
preset.)
Using the power switch ( page 5)
From the shut down screen:
• Standby
In [Start] - [Turn Off Computer], select [Stand By].
• Hibernation
In [Start] - [Turn Off Computer], select [Hibernate].
To perform this operation, make the setting as follows in advance;
Select [Start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] - [Change the way users log on or
off] and delete the check mark for [Use the Welcome screen].
Setting for using the hibernation mode
1 Select [Start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Op-
tions].
2 In [Hibernate], add the check mark for [Enable hibernation] and select [OK].
