104 Learning the Basics Powering down the computer Standby command Standby puts the computer into a power-saving mode. Standby holds the current state of the computer in memory so that, when you restart the computer, you can continue working from where you left off. Factors when choosing Standby: ❖ While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery power. The battery will eventually discharge in Standby mode. If the battery discharges, your data will be lost if you do not save your work before entering Standby mode. ❖ Restarting from Standby mode uses less time and battery power than restarting from Turn Off or 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 Standby and the battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to save your work first. For more information about the Standby, see "Using Standby" on page 112. For information about going into Standby mode more quickly, see "Going into Standby mode more quickly" on page 113.
