Standby Mode

Standby mode conserves power by turning off the display and the hard drive after a predetermined
period of inactivity (a time-out). When the computer exits standby mode, it returns to the same
operating state it was in before entering standby mode.
NOTICE: If your computer loses AC and battery power while in standby mode, it may lose
data.
To enter standby mode:
In the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system, click the Start button, click Turn off
computer, and then click Standby.
