Benefits of hibernation 
The hibernation feature provides the following benefits: 
■ Saves data to the hard disk when the computer automatically shuts 
down because of a low battery. 
 
For the computer to shut down in hibernation mode, the hibernation 
feature must be enabled in two places in TOSHIBA Power Saver: the 
Hibernate window and the Battery Alarm item of the Alarm window. Otherwise, the computer will shut down in Standby mode. If battery power becomes depleted, data saved in Standby will be lost. 
■ You can return to your previous working environment immediately 
when you turn on the computer. 
■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer 
receives no input or hardware access for the duration set by the 
System hibernate feature. 
■ You can use the panel power off feature.

Data save in hibernation mode 
When you turn off the power in hibernation mode, the computer takes a 
moment to save current memory data to the hard disk. During this time, 
the Built-in HDD indicator will light. 
After you turn off the computer and memory is saved to the hard disk, 
turn off the power to any peripheral devices. 
 
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment 
to let all capacitors fully discharge 
Standby mode 
In standby mode the power remains on, but the CPU and all other 
devices are in sleep mode.  
 
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 hibernation mode or in shutdown mode to avoid radio signal interference. 
Benefits of standby 
The standby feature provides the following benefits: 
■ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does 
hibernation. 
■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer 
receives no input or hardware access for the duration set by the 
System Standby feature. 
■ You can use the panel power off feature. 
Executing standby 
 
You can also enable Standby by pressing Fn + F3. See Chapter 5, The 
Keyboard, for details. 
You can enter standby mode in one of three ways: 
 1.  Click Start, click Tu r n  O f f  C o m p u t e r and click Stand by. 
  2.  Close the display panel. This feature must be enabled. Refer to the 
System Power Mode item in Power Saver Utility described in the 
Control Panel.

1.  When the computer is shut down in standby mode, the power 
indicator glows orange. 
2.  If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen the operating time by shutting down in hibernation mode. Standby mode consumes more power. 
Standby limitations 
Standby will not function under the following conditions: 
■ Power is turned back on immediately after shutting down. 
■ Memory circuits are exposed to static electricity or electrical noise. 
Restarting the computer 
Certain conditions require that you restart the computer system. For

■ You change certain computer settings. 
■ An error occurs and the computer does not respond to your keyboard 
commands.

Using optical media drives 
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the DVD-ROM 
drive. However, operation is the same for the CD-RW/DVD-ROM and 
DVD Multi drives. The full-size drive provides high-performance execution 
of CD/DVD-ROM-based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72) or 
8 cm (3.15) CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller 
is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a 
CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive glows and the Slim Select Bay 
indicator glows. 
 
Use the WinDVD 4 application to view DVD-Video discs.  
If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs 
section for precautions on writing to CDs. 
Loading discs 
To load CD/DVDs, follow the steps below and refer to next figures. 
1. a.  When the power is on, press the DVD-ROM eject button to open the 
drawer slightly. 
 
Pressing the DVD-ROM eject button 
1. b.  Pressing the eject button will not open the drawer when the DVD-
ROM drive’s power is off. If the power is off, you can open the 
drawer by inserting a slender object (about 15 mm) such as a 
straightened paper clip into the eject hole just to the right of the 
eject button.
