DISPLAY TIMEOUT
The Video Timeout is one of the power management
parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer
activity will cause the display to restart automatically.
This feature is independent of the Power and Suspend/
Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in
Windows.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT
The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power
management parameters. This feature saves power by
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart
automatically. This feature is independent of the Power
and Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows.
RESTARTING THE SYSTEM
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure
that you use the following procedure.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to restart your LifeBook notebook. Your
notebook will shut down and then reboot.
Turning off your LifeBook notebook
without exiting Windows or turning on
your notebook within 10 seconds of the
notebook being shut off may cause an
error when you start the next time.
Never turn off your LifeBook notebook
while an application is running. Close all
files, exit all applications, and shut down
your operating system prior to turning off
the power with the power switch. If files
are open when you turn the power off,
you will lose any changes that have not
been saved, and may cause disk errors.
POWER OFF
Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down
from the Start menu, check that the Hard Drive, Optical
Drive, and PC Card access indicators are all Off. (See
Figure 2-8 on page 14) If you turn off the power while
accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To
assure that your LifeBook notebook shuts down without
error, use the Windows shut down procedure.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from
Windows allows your LifeBook notebook to complete its
operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to
avoid errors. The proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Shut Down option from within the
Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to shut down your LifeBook notebook.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.
