Using the Standby Function

When you are done using your computer, you can put it in standby mode rather than turn it off completely. Putting the computer in standby mode allows you to return quickly to normal computer use.

To put the computer in standby mode

1Save your work and close any applications that are running. (You can leave the Windows® operating system running.)

2Press the (Standby) button on the top of the keyboard (or press the power switch momentarily on the front panel of the computer).

The computer goes into standby mode.

Alternatively, you can click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, click Shutdown, select Standby, and then click OK.

To let the computer go into standby mode automatically

Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop. Double-click Control Panel, and then double-click the Power Management icon. On the Power Schemes tab, select from the options in the Power schemes drop-down list. Then, choose settings for the power scheme you have selected. To save the settings under a name that is not offered in the Power schemes pulldown menu, choose your settings and then click Save As. Type in a name, and click OK. Click Apply to finalize your power settings.

To resume from standby mode

Press any key on the keyboard, move the mouse, or press the power switch on the front panel again.
