Initiating Standby (fn+f3)
■ When the notebook is on, press the fn+f3 hotkey to initiate
Standby. When Standby is initiated, your work is saved
in memory (RAM), the screen is cleared, and power
is conserved. While the notebook is in Standby, the
power/standby light blinks.
■ To exit Standby, briefly press the power button.
The
fn+f3 hotkey is set at the factory to initiate Standby.
✎
Windows Help refers to the fn+f3 function as the “sleep button.”
You can change the function of the
fn+f3 hotkey. For example, it
can be set to initiate Hibernation instead of Standby. For more
information about Standby, Hibernation, and changing the
function of the
fn+f3 hotkey, refer to the “Power” chapter in the
Software Guide on the Documentation CD.
