Learning the Basics
Powering down the computer
❖
Restarting from Hibernation mode uses a little more time
and battery power than restarting from Standby because
information is being retrieved from the hard disk instead
of memory.
❖
When starting up again, the computer returns to the state
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were using.

Standby command

The Standby command puts the computer into a power-
saving mode. Standby 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 Standby:
❖
While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery
power. The battery will eventually discharge in Standby
mode. If the battery discharges, your data will be lost if
you do not save your work before entering Standby
mode.
❖
Restarting from Standby mode uses less time and battery
power than restarting from Turn Off 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 Standby command and the
battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to
save your work first.
