For what it's worth, I hardly know what standby is anymore. I just checked the 9700 manual, and the word is only used in this context once, but it isn't defined.

I distinguish between the device lock (password lock) and keypad lock. If the device is password lock, pressing a key will of course activate the screen to alert the operater that the device is locked, etc.

I don't know that I've ever seen "the device is in standby" ... or if I have I've that brain cell storing the memory has since died.
