Using the PC

Standby Mode

When the PC is in standby mode, it goes into a low-power state and the monitor is blank. The next time you use the PC, any programs, folders and documents that were open, before you put the PC into standby, are available again.

Standby mode also allows faxes to come through to the PC, and it enables the PC to automatically retrieve e-mail messages and download information from the Internet, if you have programmed the PC to do so.

To wake from standby, move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. If the PC does not work properly when you wake it from standby, reset the PC: Press and hold the Power button on the front of the PC for approximately 5 seconds until the system turns off, and then turn the PC back on.

Using the Power button to reset the system is not recommended, and should be used only as a last resort.
