5.1.2 Power Management Modes

5.1.2.1 Standby Mode

This mode conserves power by switching off the hard drive and

display after a preset period of inactivity (a time-out). When

standby mode is exited, your notebook will return to the same

operating state it was in before entering standby.

If your notebook loses power from both the electrical outlet

and the battery while in standby mode, data may be lost.

To enter standby mode in Windows XP:

Start > Turn off computer > Stand By.

You can set your notebook to go to Standby Mode:

• When you close the lid of your notebook

• When you press the power button

via the

Advanced tab settings in Power Options Properties

(accessed via Start > Control Panel > Pick a category >

Performance and Maintenance > Power Options).

To exit standby mode, press the power button. You can exit

standby mode by pressing a key or touching the TouchPad. For

more information on standby mode, see Turning Your Notebook

On and Off, Chapter 2.
