Switch to Stand-By

In Stand-Bystate, the NETBOOK PRO turns off the display, but the programs and NETBOOK PRO hardware remain active. Stand-Byis activated when the time specified in the Switch to Dim and the Switch to Stand-Byoptions have elapsed without any activity. The NETBOOK PRO then begins to monitor the Suspend time.

Press any key or tap the screen to bring the unit out of Stand-Bystate.

Switch to Suspend

Once the time specified in the Switch to Dim and the Switch to Stand-Bystates have elapsed, the NETBOOK PRO begins to count down the time specified in the Switch to Suspend option. When the time in the Suspend option elapses, the unit enters Suspend state.

In Suspend state, the NETBOOK PRO CPU suspends all activity, turns off the display, and goes into a low power state. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved.

Select Suspend from the Start Menu or press the Fn and Esc keys together to put the NETBOOK PRO into Suspend state. The NETBOOK PRO may be configured to allow entry into Suspend state if external communications connections are active; these options can be set in the Advanced tab of the Power Properties dialogue.

Press the Esc/On key to wake up the unit. You can also enable the unit to wake from Suspend when a number of external events occur, by checking the appropriate option box in the Advanced tab of the Power Properties dialogue.

Note: When the NETBOOK PRO is in suspend state, any network connection is broken. To resume, you must re-establish the network connection.
