Stand By Command; Using Turn Off Or Shut Down - Toshiba Satellite 5205 Series User Manual

Stand by command

The Stand by command puts the computer into a power-
saving mode. Stand by stores the current state 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 Stand by:
❖
While in Stand by mode, the computer uses some battery
power. If your computer is left in Stand by mode for an
extended period, your computer could lose data.
❖
When starting up again, this choice uses less time and
battery power than either Turn Off, Shut down or
Hibernation.
❖
On restarting, the computer returns to the state in which
you left it, and opens all the programs and files you were
using.
NOTE: If you power down using the Stand by command and the
battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to
save your work often.
