Waking up your computer

When you have not used your computer for several minutes, it will go
into a power-saving mode called Standby. While in Standby, the computer
screen darkens and the power indicator light blinks every two seconds.
When you are ready to use your computer, "wake" it up by pressing a
button or key on the keyboard. For more information on changing
power-saving settings, see "Changing power settings" on page 45.
