72 Getting Started Turning off the computer Standby mode The Standby command places the computer into a powersaving mode. Standby holds the current state of the computer in system memory (RAM) 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 main battery power. ❖ The Standby command does not store unsaved information on your hard disk. You should save your work before putting your computer on Standby. ❖ Restarting from Standby takes less time and consumes less main battery power than restarting from turning off the computer or using Hibernation mode. ❖ When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode in which you left it, including all open programs and files you were using. If you power down using the Standby command and the main battery discharges fully, your unsaved information will be lost. Be sure to save your work first. For information on using Standby, see "Using and configuring Standby mode" on page 76.
