Standby Mode - Toshiba Portege M100 User Manual

Standby mode

In standby mode the power remains on, but the CPU and all other
devices are in sleep mode.
When the AC adaptor is used, the computer goes into Standby mode
depending on the setting of the TOSHIBA Power Saver feature.
To restore operation, press the power button or press any key. The latter
action works only if Wake-up on Keyboard is enabled in HW Setup.
If a network application is active when the computer automatically enters
Standby, it 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. Open the Standby
setting. That action, however, will nullify the computer's Energy Star
compliance.
Standby precautions
1. Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data.
2. Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
standby mode. The computer or the module could be damaged.
■
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.
