Starting again from Hibernation mode
To start up the computer from Hibernation mode, press the power
button until the on/off light turns green. The computer returns to
the screen you were using.
If you put the computer in Hibernation mode by closing the
display panel, you can start it again by opening the display panel.
Using Standby
The Standby command puts the computer into a power-saving
mode. Standby holds the current mode of the computer in memory
so that, when you restart the computer, you can continue working
from where you left off.
Factors to consider when choosing Standby:
❖
While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery
power. A fully charged main battery will last up to eight hours
in Standby mode.
❖
Restarting from Standby uses less time and battery power
than restarting from Turn off computer or Hibernation.
❖
When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode in
which you left it, including all open programs and files you
were using.
NOTE: If you power down using the Standby command and
the main battery discharges fully, your information will be
lost. Be sure to save your work first.
To power down the computer using the Standby command, click
Start, Turn off computer, and select Stand By.
