Powering down the computer
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
The computer is now set to automatically go into
Hibernation when your option settings occur.
For more information about the Power Saver utility, see
“TOSHIBA Power Saver” on page 147.
Once the computer is configured, put the computer into
Hibernation mode by either pressing the power button or
closing the display panel, depending on the hibernation
options taken.
Starting again from Hibernation mode
To start up the computer from Hibernation mode, press the
power button until the on/off light turns green. The computer
returns to the screen you were using.
If you put the computer in Hibernation mode by closing the
display panel, you can start it again by opening the display
panel.
Using Standby
The Standby command puts the computer into a power-
saving mode. Standby holds the current mode of the
computer in memory so that, when you restart the computer,
you can continue working from where you left off.
Factors to consider when choosing Standby:
❖While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery
power. A fully charged main battery will last up to eight
hours in Standby mode.
❖Restarting from Standby uses less time and battery power
than restarting from Turn off computer or Hibernation.
