Stand by command

The Stand by command puts the computer into a power-
saving mode. Stand by holds 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 when choosing Stand by:
While in Stand by mode, the computer uses some battery
power. The battery will eventually discharge in Stand by
mode. If the battery discharges, your data will be lost if
you do not save your work before entering Stand by
mode.
Restarting from Stand by mode uses less time and battery
power than restarting from Turn Off, Shut down or
Hibernation mode.
When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode
in which you left it, including all open 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 first.
