Standby command
The Standby command puts the computer into a power-
saving mode. Standby stores 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 to consider when choosing Standby:
❖While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery 
power. If your computer is left in Standby mode for an 
extended period, your computer could lose data.
❖When starting up again, this choice uses less time and 
battery power than either Turn Off, Shut down or 
Hibernation.
❖On restarting, the computer returns to the state in which 
you left it, and opens all the programs and files you were 
using.
NOTE: If you power down using the Standby command and the 
battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to 
save your work often.
