Using Standby - Toshiba Satellite M50 Series User Manual

Starting again from Hibernation mode
To start up the computer from Hibernation mode, press the
power button until the on/off light turns blue. The computer
returns to the screen you were using.
If you put the computer in Hibernation mode by closing the
display panel, you can start it again by opening the display
panel.

Using Standby

The Standby command puts the computer into a power-
saving mode. Standby holds the current mode of the
computer in memory so that, when you restart the computer,
you can continue working from where you left off.
Factors to consider when choosing Standby:
❖
While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery
power. A fully charged main battery will last up to eight
hours in Standby mode.
❖
Restarting from Standby uses less time and battery power
than restarting from Turn off computer or Hibernation.
❖
When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were using.
To power down the computer using the Standby command,
click Start, Turn off computer, and select Stand By.
If you power down using the Standby command and the main
battery discharges fully, your unsaved information will be lost.
Be sure to save your work first.
