To Use the Stand By Mode

When you plan to stop using your computer for a short period of time, you can put it in Stand By mode instead of turning it off completely. Putting the computer in Stand By mode saves energy and allows a quick return to normal computer use.

Before you set your computer in Stand By mode:

∙Save your work.

∙Close all open applications.

∙End your Internet session, if applicable.

∙Leave the Windows® operating system running.

Caution:

Your installed Lucent Win Modem does not support the Wake On Ring (WOR) feature of the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system. For optimal use, Sony recommends that you do not change the preset modem settings.
