standby mode

When the PC is in standby mode, it goes into a low-power state and the monitor is
blank as if it is turned off. The advantages of using standby mode include:
•
You save time and electricity without having to wait for the PC to go through the
normal startup routine when you wake it again. The next time you use the PC,
any programs, folders, and documents that were open before you put the PC in
standby will be available.
•
Your PC can receive faxes while in standby mode, if you set it to do so.
•
Your PC can retrieve e-mail messages and download information from the
Internet automatically, if you set it to do so.
To put the PC in standby mode manually:
1 Press the Standby button on the keyboard, if it is present.
The screen goes dark, and the PC goes into standby mode.
