Benefits of Standby Mode
The Standby Mode feature provides the following benefits:
■ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does the
Hibernation Mode feature.
■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives
no input or hardware access for the time period set by the System
Standby feature.
■ Allows the use of the panel power off feature.
Executing Standby Mode
You can enter Standby Mode in one of three ways:
1. Click start, click Turn Off Computer and then click Stand By.
2. Close the computer's LCD display panel. Please note that this feature
must be enabled - please refer to the Setup Actions tab in the TOSHIBA
Power Saver for further information (to access this utility, click start
followed by Control Panel followed by Performance and
Maintenance and then click the TOSHIBA Power Saver icon).
■ When the AC adaptor is connected, the computer will go into Standby
Mode according to the settings in the TOSHIBA Power Saver.
■ To restore the operation of the computer from Standby Mode, slide the
power button or press any key. Please be aware that this latter action
only works on the internal keyboard if the Wake-up on Keyboard option
is enabled within the HW Setup utility.
■ If the computer enters Standby Mode while a network application is
active, the application might not be restored when the computer is next
switched on and the system returns from Standby Mode.
■ To prevent the computer from automatically entering Standby Mode,
disable Standby within the TOSHIBA Power Saver. However, please
be aware that this configuration will nullify the computer's Energy Star
compliance.
■ Before entering Standby Mode, be sure to save your data.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Standby Mode. The computer or the module could be damaged.
■ Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby Mode
(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in
memory will be lost.
■ If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a hospital, be sure
to shut down the computer in Hibernation Mode or in shutdown mode
to avoid radio signal interference.
You can also enable Standby Mode by pressing Fn + F3 - please refer to
Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for further details.
