Standby Mode
The notebook consumes very low power in standby mode. Data remain
intact in the system memory until battery is drained.
There are four ways to enter standby mode:
• Press the sleep hot key Fn-F7 ( ) with System Sleep State set to
[Standby].
• System Sleep Mode set to [Hibernate] but the reserved area
made by Sleep Manager is insufficient. See section 5.2 for details.
• Set a value for the System Sleep Timer in Setup with System Sleep
Mode set to [Standby]. If the waiting time specified by this timer
elapses without any system activity, the notebook goes into standby
mode.
• Invoked by the operating system power saving modes with System
Sleep Mode set to [Standby].
• Closing the display cover.
If the notebook beeps but does not enter standby mode after
pressing the sleep hot key, it means the operating system does
not allow the notebook to enter the power saving mode.
The following signals indicate that the notebook is in standby mode:
• The buzzer beeps (when you press the standby/suspend hot key)
• The indicator light flashes
Unstored data is lost when you turn off the notebook power in
standby mode or when the battery is drained.
