Standby mode
When the computer enters standby mode, the following
events occur in addition to what occurs in screen blank
mode:
vThe LCD is powered off.
vThe hard-disk drive is powered off.
vThe CPU stops.
Toenter standby mode, press Fn+F4.
Note: Youcan change the action of Fn+F4, if you are
using theACPI operating system.
In certain circumstances, the computer goes into standby
mode automatically:
vIf a “suspend time”has been set on the timer,and the
user does not do any operation with the keyboard, the
TrackPoint,the hard disk, the parallel connector, or the
diskette drive within that time.
vIf the battery indicator blinks orange, indicating that the
battery power is low.(Alternatively, if Hibernate when
battery becomes low has been selected in the “Power
Management Properties”window,the computer goes
into hibernation mode.)
Note for theAPM operating system:
Even if you do not set the low-battery alarm, the charge
indicator notifies you when the battery is low,and then the
computer enters the power-saving mode automatically.
This default low-battery behavior is independent of the
operating system; so if you have set the low-battery alarm,
the computer may not do what you specified. It chooses
either your setting or the default setting, whichever is
appropriate.
If you are using theACPI operating system, only the
low-battery alarm is available.
Tocause the computer to return from standby mode and
resume operation, do one of the following:
vPress the Fn key.
vOpen the LCD cover (only if you are using Windows Me
and you entered standby mode by closing the LCD
cover.)
