Precautions
Connect the AC adaptor if the computer will be in standby for a long period of time. If you cannot use the AC adaptor, use
hibernation instead.
When carrying your computer, turn the computer off without using the standby or hibernation function. When the computer
has been in standby for a specific period of time and the computer automatically enters hibernation depending on the set-
ting, the computer will turn itself on temporarily. (In the default setting, [System hibernates] is set to [Never].)
Using standby or hibernation repeatedly may cause malfunction of the computer. To stabilize computer operation, restart
Windows regularly (about once a week) without using standby or hibernation.
Save the necessary data.
Close files you have opened from removable disks and network drives.
The password you set in the Setup Utility is not requested at resuming. You can use the Windows password for security in
standby or hibernation.
