Stand By Command - Toshiba Satellite R10 User Manual

❖
Because the state of the system is held on the hard disk,
no data is lost if the battery discharges while the
computer is in Hibernation mode.
❖
When starting up again, this choice uses less time and
battery power than the Turn Off or Shut down option. But
it uses a little more time and battery power to start up
than the Stand By option, because information is being
retrieved from the hard disk instead of from memory.
❖
On restarting, the computer returns to the state in which
you left it, and opens all the programs and files you were
using.

Stand By command

The Stand By command puts the computer into a power-
saving mode. Stand By stores the current state of the
computer in memory so that, when you restart the computer,
you can continue working from where you left off.
Factors to consider when choosing Stand By:
❖
While in Stand By mode, the computer uses some battery
power. If your computer is left in Stand By mode for an
extended period, your computer could lose data.
❖
When starting up again, this choice uses less time and
battery power than either Turn Off, Shut down or
Hibernation.
❖
On restarting, the computer returns to the state in which
you left it, and opens all the programs and files you were
using.
If you power down using the Stand By command and the
battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure
to save your work often.
