Modem
The computer automatically resumes from sleep when the telephone connected to the modem rings.
You will need software to keep the computer in idle state waiting for a phone call, and if you prefer, to turn the computer to
sleep again afterward. For further information, refer to the instruction manual of the software application.

To set the time to return the computer to sleep
The computer will enter sleep after the set time even when the communication is not completed. You can avoid such uncom-
pleted communication if you select [Never], but the computer does not return to sleep after resuming by a phone call.

Click
or
on the notification area and click [More power options] - [Change when the computer sleeps].

NOTE
This function does not work when the computer is off or is in hibernation.
Connect the AC adaptor.
The screen remains dark after the computer resumes from sleep. The previous screen display will be restored when
you touch the keyboard, touch pad or touchscreen (only for model with touchscreen).
The computer cannot resume if the telephone is not connected to the internal modem. (e.g., you cannot use a PC
Card modem.)
The computer needs some time to respond, so set the calling time longer than normal. If this is not possible on the
transmission side, reduce the number of rings before answering on the software that you are using to keep the com-
puter in idle waiting for the call.
