GETTING STARTED

User's Manual

CAUTION: Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment to let all capacitors fully discharge.

Standby mode

If you have to interrupt your work, you can turn off the power without exiting from your software. Data is maintained in the computer’s main memory. When you turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.

NOTE: When the AC adaptor is used, the computer goes into Standby mode depending on the setting of the TOSHIBA Power Saver feature.

To restore operation, press the power button or press any key. The latter action works only if Wake-up on Keyboard is enabled in HW setup.

If a network application is active when the computer automatically enters Standby, it might not be restored when the computer wakes up from standby.

To prevent the computer from automatically entering standby mode, disable Standby in TOSHIBA Power Saver. Open the Standby setting. That action, however, will nullify the computer's Energy Star compliance.

CAUTIONS: 1. Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data.

2.Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in standby mode. The computer or the module could be damaged.

3.Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in standby mode (unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in memory will be lost.

4.If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a hospital, be sure to shut down the computer in hiberna- tion mode or in shutdown mode to avoid radio signal interference.

Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does hiberna- tion.
