Powering down the computer

The computer is now set to automatically go into Hibernation when your option settings occur.

NOTE: For more information about the Power Saver utility, see Toshiba Power Saver utility on page 168.

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 state. Standby holds the current state of the computer in memory so that, when you restart the computer, you can continue working from where you left off.

Factors when choosing Standby:

❖While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery power. A fully charged main battery will last approximately eight hours in Standby mode.

❖Restarting from Standby uses less time and battery power than restarting from Shut down or Hibernation.
