Learning the Basics
Powering down the computer
 
 
 
 
Using Standby Mode
The Stand by puts the computer into a power-saving mode. 
Stand by holds 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 Stand by mode, the computer uses some battery 
power. The battery will eventually discharge in Stand by 
mode. If the battery discharges, your data will be lost if 
you do not save your work before entering Stand by 
mode.
Restarting from Stand by mode uses less time and battery 
power than restarting from Turn Off or Hibernation 
mode.
When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode 
in which you left it, including all open programs and files 
you were using.
If you power down using the Stand by and the battery 
discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to save 
your work first. 
To power down the computer using the Standby command, 
click StartTurn off computer, and select Stand By.
