Standby/Hibernation Functions
Precautions for Using the Standby or Hibernation Function
Do not use the standby or hibernation function when using the network function.
Save all data before powering off your computer.
When restarting from or shutting down to the standby or hibernation mode, do not
touch the touchscreen (or move the mouse (serial or PS/2 type) if one is connected).
These devices may fail to operate, you will then need to restart your computer using
the external keyboard.
Windows 98
In addition, when restarting from the hibernation mode, do not use the external
mouse or keyboard, or press the power switch, until Windows completely resumes.
(After the resume processing screen is displayed, nothing will appear on the dis-
play for 5 - 35 seconds, but the Windows display will appear soon after that.)
Do not enter the standby or hibernation mode during the following periods (you may
corrupt your data or file):
• While the floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive being accessed or HDD indicator (
is on.
• While playing/recording audio files.
• While communications software is being used.
Do not use the standby or hibernation function during the following periods. The
standby or hibernation function may not work, or the computer (or peripherals) may
fail to work properly.
• When a file in an external device such as a CD-ROM drive, external hard disk, or
ATA card is opened, the standby or hibernation function may not work. In such
cases, close the file.
• LAN cards (port), SCSI cards and modem cards (port) etc. may not recover after
entering the standby or hibernation mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.
• When a USB device is in use or is connected to the computer (note: only for some
USB devices).
If you hold down on the
hibernation mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For ex-
ample, if you hold down on the Shift key while pushing the power switch, upon
resuming, if you do not press the Shift key again, only capital letters will result from
typing.
Press the power switch and hold it for more than four seconds to power off the com-
puter only when the computer locks up. Data not previously saved will be lost.
In the standby mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards are inserted, more of that
power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all data saved at standby
is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC
adaptor when using the standby function.
If the standby or hibernation function is used repeatedly, the computer may not work
properly. To stabilize computer operations, we recommend shutting down Windows
([Start]-[Shut Down]) on a regular basis (about once a week) without using the standby
or hibernation function.
In the standby mode, do not remove/change the battery pack. Removing the pack in
the standby mode will erase your data and may damage the computer.
A USB device may have to be removed temporarily and the computer restarted in
cases where the computer is unable to start up properly.
