If you don't have surge protection then the only protection from a lightning strike is to unplug the device from the mains, or to switch it off at the mains via power strip or via the on/off switch that is integrated with the electrical outlets in some countries. An electrical surge doesn't care whether the equipment is on, in standby, or fully off.
