Standby/Hibernation Functions
Starting Up Your Computer Quickly
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.
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
If you use the standby or hibernation function, you can shut down the computer without
closing programs and documents. Upon restarting your computer from either the standby
or hibernation mode, you can immediately continue working in all programs, or docu-
ments that were open at the time the computer was placed into standby or hibernation
mode.
