Resuming Operation
When operation resumes, serial devices such as a mouse or modem, or your PC Cards
may not work. In such cases, you will need to restart your computer or reinitialize the
individual devices.
If
is displayed upon sliding the power switch, your password has been set (
page 9).
CAUTION
Save all data before powering off your computer.
When restarting from or shutting down to the suspend or hibernation mode, do not
touch the touch pad (or move the mouse (serial or PS/2 type) if one is connected).
There are cases where these devices will fail to operate; you will have to restart
your computer using the keyboard (
page 10).
Do not power off during the following periods (you may corrupt your data or file):
• While the FDD indicator (
), HDD indicator (
) or CD-ROM indicator (
)
(CD-ROM drive is an optional part) is on.
• While playing/recording audio files.
• While communications software is being used.
Do not use the suspend or hibernation function when using an OS other than Win-
dows 95, the diagnostics program (DIAG35), or the Setup Utility, or when experi-
encing static electricity or noise.
If you hold down on the
,
or
to enter the suspend or hibernation
mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For example, if you
hold down on the
key while sliding the power switch, upon resuming, if you
do not press the
key again, only capital letters will result from typing.
If your computer locks up, press the reset button. All data is lost when this button
is pressed.
In the suspend mode, power is consumed. If PC cards (e.g., modem card) are
inserted, more of that power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all
data at shutdown is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommend
plugging in the AC adapter when using the suspend function.
When the file in the external devices such as a CD-ROM drive, external hard disk,
or ATA cards is opened, the suspend or hibernation function may not work. In such
cases, close the file.
SCSI cards may not recover operation after entering the suspend or hibernation
mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.
