Standby Mode - HP Compaq Presario,Presario 6001 Getting Started

Using the Computer

Standby Mode

When the computer is in standby mode, it goes
into a low-power state and the monitor is blank,
as if it's turned off. The next time you use the
computer, any programs, folders, and documents
that were open before you put the computer into
standby are available again. With standby mode,
you can save electricity without having to wait for
the PC to go through the normal startup routine
when you turn it on.
Standby mode also allows faxes to come
through to the computer, and it enables the PC
to automatically retrieve e-mail messages and
download information from the Internet, if you
have programmed the computer to do so.

If the computer does not work properly when you
wake it from standby, reset the computer: Press
and hold the Power button on the front of the PC for
approximately 5 seconds until the system turns off.
Then turn the computer back on.
Using the Power button to reset the system is
not recommended and should be used only
as a last resort.
