Caution about standby and hibernation modes
•
Depending on the conditions under which your computer is used, it may take much time to go
into standby or hibernation mode, or to resume system operation.
•
Don’t resume system operation soon after placing it into standby or hibernation mode, but
wait for at least 10 seconds before resuming.
•
If the driver of any peripheral device connected is not installed correctly, the computer may
not go into standby or hibernation mode.
•
When the computer resumes operation, it may cause some flicker in the display, but this
doesn’t mean that the computer or display is faulty.
•
Don’t put the computer into standby or hibernation mode if:
- The operating system is in the process of starting or shutting down.

it has finished processing.
- The hard disk or floppy disk is being accessed.
- Communications are being carried out via the modem.
- An auto-run CD-ROM (CD-ROM that starts automatically when it is loaded) is running.
- A video CD or DVD-VIDEO, etc., is being played.

ter before connecting or disconnecting them. For more information, refer to the manual for

the BIOS Setup window, the Flat Point is activated regardless of the settings before the com-
puter was put into standby or hibernation mode.

standby or hibernation mode if the peripheral device connected supports only the Low-Level
