Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data.
Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
standby mode. The computer or the module could be damaged.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in standby mode
(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in
memory will be lost.
If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a hospital, be sure to
shut down the computer in hibernation mode or in shutdown mode to
avoid radio signal interference.
Benefits of standby
The standby feature provides the following benefits:
■
Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does
hibernation.
■
Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer
receives no input or hardware access for the duration set by the
System Standby feature.
■
You can use the panel power off feature.
Executing standby
You can also enable Standby by pressing Fn + F3. See Chapter 5, The
Keyboard, for details.
You can enter standby mode in one of three ways:
1. Click start, click Turn Off Computer and click Stand by.
2. Close the display panel. This feature must be enabled. Refer to the
System Power Mode item in Power Saver Utility in the Control Panel.
Open Performance and Maintenance and open TOSHIBA Power
Saver.
3. Press the power button. This feature must be enabled. Refer to the
System Power Mode item in Power Saver Utility in the Control Panel.

Saver.
When you turn the power back on, you can continue where you left when
you shut down the computer.
When the computer is shut down in standby mode, the Power indicator
flashes orange.
If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen the
operating time by shutting down in hibernation mode. Standby mode
consumes more power.
