Considerations
Using Power Management
Suppose you activate the alarm action as follows:
Notification: Display message
Power level: When the alarm goes off, the computer will Standby.
Now if your computer enters suspend or hibernation mode when the
battery is low before the alarm message appears, you see the
message when the computer resumes. To resume normal operation,
press OK.
Note:
You can set the Alarm action as follows:
1. Start the ThinkPad Configuration program.
2. Click on Power Management.
3. Click on the Alarm tab.
4. Put a check mark in the Low Battery Alarm check box,
the Critical Low Battery Alarm check box, or both.
5. Set the percentage of the power level.
6. Click on the Alarm Action... button. You can set the
alarm action in the next window.
Using a PC Card
If you are communicating with a PC Card modem or inserting a PC
Card in a PC Card slot, do not enter your computer into suspend
mode, enter into hibernation mode, or click on Stand by in the “Shut
Down Window” window.
Note:
If you want to enter your computer into suspend mode, first
stop the PC Card in the “PC Card (PCMCIA) Properties”
window as follows:
1. Click on Start, move the cursor to Settings, and click on
Control Panel.
2. Double-click on PC Card (PCMCIA).
3. From the list, select the card you are stopping.
4. Click on the Stop button.
If you remove a communication PC Card from the PC Card slot and
then reinsert it later, it might not work correctly. You need to reboot
your computer.
