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
random access 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.
The function of the
fn+f3 hotkey, called the “sleep button” in
Windows, can be changed. For example, the
fn+f3 hotkey 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 on the Documentation Library
CD to the Software Guide, “Power” chapter.
