Basics
Putting the PC into Standby
and Hibernation Mode
As an alternative to shutting down the PC, you
can put the PC in standby mode. To conserve
power, you can automatically put the PC into
standby and then hibernation by setting the
power management timers.
Standby mode
When the PC is in standby mode, it goes into
a low-power state and the monitor is blank as
if it’s turned off. The next time you use the PC,
any programs, folders, and documents that
were open before you put the PC in standby
will be available. With standby mode, you can
save electricity without having to wait for the PC
to go through the normal startup routine when
you turn it on.
Standby mode also allows faxes to come
through to the PC, and it enables the PC to
automatically retrieve e-mail messages and
download information from the Internet, if
you have programmed the PC to do so.
To manually put the PC in standby:
1 Press the Standby button on the keyboard.
The screen goes dark, and the PC goes into
standby mode.
2 When you want to use the PC again,
press a key on the keyboard, or press
the Standby button. The screen display
reappears just as you left it.
Another way to manually put the PC into
standby is to:
1 Click Start on the taskbar.
2 Click Turn Off Computer.
3 Click Stand By.
