Suspend/Hibernation Functions
Precautions for Using the Suspend or Hibernation Function
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 trackball 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.
Do not power off during the following periods (you may corrupt your data or file):
• While the FDD indicator (
• While playing/recording audio files.
• While communications software is being used.
Do not use the suspend or hibernation function when using an operating system other than
the one that comes with your computer, the diagnostics program, the Setup Utility, or
when experiencing static electricity or noise.
If you hold down on the
hibernation mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For example,
if you hold down on the Shift key while sliding the power switch, upon resuming, if
you do not press the Shift key again, only capital letters will result from typing.
If your computer locks up, press the reset button. All data not saved are lost when this
button is pressed.
In the suspend mode, power is consumed. If PC cards (e.g., a modem card) are inserted,
more of that power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all data at shut-
down is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC
adapter when using the suspend function.
Repeatedly using the suspend or hibernation function will use up a lot of the system re-
sources and the computer may not work properly. Shut down Windows ([Start]-[Shut
Down]) on a regular basis, e.g., about one time a week, without using the suspend or
hibernation function. Doing so will restore the system resources.
Do not use the suspend or hibernation function during the following periods. The sus-
pend or hibernation function, or peripherals may not work.
When a file in external devices such as a CD-ROM drive, external hard disk, or ATA
card is opened, the suspend or hibernation function may not work. In such cases, close
the file.
LAN cards, SCSI cards and modem cards etc. may not recover after entering the sus-
pend or hibernation mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.
When inserting one more CardBus type card with one already inserted, after entering the
suspend or hibernation mode, the computer may not function properly.
After a Windows 95 USB device driver has been installed, do not use the suspend or
hibernation function. If the suspend or hibernation mode is activated, the computer may
not function properly. Power off, then on, using the power switch to resume proper opera-
tion.
If you want to use the suspend or hibernation function after the USB driver is installed,
disable the USB device function of the computer by following the procedure below.
