It can be awakened from this mode by hitting any key several times (or holding CR, SPACE, etc.). In this mode 1) the power is on (low and high voltage), 2) the filiment on the CRT is on, 3) the video is off. This method of turn-off avoids the cool-down, warm-up cycle, but avoids burning text or the cursor on the phosphor of the CRT. This is probably optimal from a maintenance point of view, at least for "off" times of under a day. For that reason, we turn our Ambassadors "off" that way at Rand.
