Using Shut Down

❖ Restarting from Hibernation mode uses less time and

battery power than restarting from Shut Down.

❖ Restarting from Hibernation mode uses a little more time

and battery power than restarting from Stand By because

information is being retrieved from the hard disk instead

of memory.

❖ When starting up again, the computer returns to the state

in which you left it, including all open programs and files

you were using.

For more information about the Hibernation command, see

“Using Hibernation” on page 88. For information about

going into Hibernation mode more quickly, see “Going into

Hibernation mode more quickly” on page 89.

Stand By command

The Stand By command 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 when choosing Stand By:

❖ 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 Shut Down or

Hibernation mode.
