Introduction

When battery power is exhausted to the point 

that computer operation cannot be continued, the 

system automatically enters Hibernation Mode 

and shuts down. You can activate this setting in 

the TOSHIBA Power Saver utility.

This feature lets you turn off the power without 

exiting from your software. The contents of main 

memory are saved to the hard disk.  When you 

turn on the power again, you can continue 

working right where you left off. Refer to the 

Turning off the power section in Chapter 3, 

Getting Started, for details.

In Standby Mode, power to the system remains 

on, but the CPU and all other devices are placed 

into a 'sleep' mode. When the computer is in 

Standby Mode, the Power LED flashes amber. 

The computer enters Standby Mode regardless 

of the associated setting for Hibernate Mode. 

Refer to the Turning off the power section in   

Chapter 3, Getting Started, for details.

Before switching the computer off into Standby Mode, be sure to save
