Standby (also called Suspend)

When you finish working, or if you want to pause in the middle of
your applications, press the power button once to initiate Standby.
This feature puts the computer to sleep (for up to 168 hours with a
fully charged battery pack), uses very little power, and saves your
place in your applications.
During Standby, most of the major components (hard drive,
processor, and display) shut down after a period of inactivity. Press
the power button once and the computer returns your work to the
screen exactly where you left off.
How Standby is initiated

(You can set the Standby timeout period in Power Properties.)
Manually at any time by pressing the power button.
Manually at any time by clicking Suspend from the Start menu.

initiated).
The screen goes blank.

When exiting Standby
Press the power button once.
The computer beeps once.

The "instant-on" feature lets you pick up your work right where
you left off. No information is lost.
IMPORTANT: The computer will not exit Standby (Suspend) if the
battery is low or dead. In this case, install a fully charged battery pack
or plug in an external power source. When a new power source is
connected to the computer, press the power button to exit Standby and
display your information on screen. (See "Resolving a Low-Battery
Condition" in this chapter.)
