Standby command

The Standby command puts the computer into a power-saving
mode. Standby 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 Standby:
While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery


power.
When starting up again, this choice uses less time and battery


power than does Shut down or Hibernation.
On restarting, the computer returns to the mode in which you


left it, and opens all the 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 often.
