Standby and hibernation
The Standby and Hibernation features allow you to save power without shutting down Windows.
Standby mode
This mode suspends system operation while keeping the programs and data in the system RAM
(memory). During standby, the
icon on the CoolView Panel blinks. In this mode, the computer
can suspend and resume system operation in a shorter time than in hibernation mode. When the
computer is on standby, it consumes a small amount of power, and it is powered from the AC
adapter if the AC adapter is connected or from the internal battery if no AC adapter is connected.
Hibernation mode
This mode shuts down the computer after saving all programs and data in memory into the hard
disk. As compared to standby mode, it takes more time for the computer to suspend and resume
system operation because the power is turned off automatically. When the MAIN switch is on, the
computer consumes a small amount of power to keep the one-touch buttons operational. To stop
the power consumption, turn the MAIN switch off.
