Using the Standby Function

When you are done using your computer, you can put it in standby mode 
rather than turn it off completely. Putting the computer in standby mode 
allows you to return quickly to normal computer use and saves energy.

To put the computer in standby mode

1

Save your work and close any applications that are running. (You can 
leave the Windows

®

 operating system running.)

2

Press the 

 (Standby) button on the top of the keyboard (or press the 

power switch momentarily on the front panel of the computer).

The computer goes into standby mode.

Alternatively, you can click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, click 
Shut Down, select Standby, and then click OK.

To let the computer go into standby mode automatically

Click the My Computer icon on your desktop. Click Control Panel, and 
then click the Power Management icon. On the Power Schemes tab, select 
from the options in the Power schemes drop-down list. Then, choose 
settings for the power scheme you have selected. To save the settings 
under a name that is not offered in the Power schemes pull down menu, 
choose your settings and then click Save As. Type in a name, and click 
OK. Click Apply to finalize your power settings.

To resume from standby mode

Press the space bar on the keyboard, click the left mouse button, or press 
the power switch on the front panel again.

You can tell which mode the computer is in by the color of the power
