Getting Started Standby mode In standby mode the power remains on, but the CPU and all other devices are in sleep mode. ■ If the computer is not used or accessed in any way, including receipt of e-mail, for 15 or 30 minutes when the AC adaptor is connected, the computer will automatically enter Standby mode (TOSHIBA Power Saver default). ■ To restore operation, press the power button. ■ If the computer automatically enters Standby mode while a network application is active, the application might not be restored when the computer wakes up from Standby. ■ To prevent the computer from automatically entering Standby mode, disable Standby in TOSHIBA Power Saver. That action, however, will nullify the computer's Energy Star compliance. Standby precautions ■ Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data. ■ Do not remove/install memory or remove power components: ■ Do not remove/install the memory module. The computer or the module could be damaged. ■ Do not remove the Battery Pack. In any of the above cases, the standby configuration will not be saved. ■ 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. Benefits of Standby The standby feature provides the following benefits: ■ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does Hibernation. ■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives no input or hardware access for the duration set by the System Standby feature. ■ You can use the panel power off feature.
