Sleep Mode - Toshiba Satellite Pro R50-B series User Manual

Sleep Mode

If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this
mode, data is maintained in the main memory of the computer. When you
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always shut down the
computer. This includes turning off any wireless communication
functionalities, and canceling settings that reactivate the computer
automatically, such as a timer recording function. Failure to shut down the
computer in this way could allow the operating system to reactivate and run
pre-programmed tasks or preserve unsaved data, which could interfere
with aviation or other systems, possibly causing serious injury.
