To suspend system operation:
1. Press the Suspend/Resume button, or carry out
the Standby command from your operating
system or power management program.
(If your system is configured to suspend
operation using Hibernate (Save-to-Disk)
mode, which is explained later in this
procedure, a message is displayed while data
is saved to your hard disk.)
If you are replacing the battery, wait until
system operation is suspended and the
power icon is flashing before you remove the
battery. Failure to do so could result in loss of
your unsaved data. (Note that if the Resume
On LAN function is enabled in the BIOS setup,
you should not remove the battery unless the
system is shut down. When Resume ON LAN
is enabled, the bridge battery is disabled in
order to optimize battery life.)
2. The Power icon either flashes (Suspend-to-
RAM) or is not displayed (Hibernate) when
system operation is suspended, depending
on how your system is configured. At this
point, programs that were running are
stopped, active data is saved, and the system
enters one of two different low-power states,
or suspend modes, as explained in the
following paragraphs.
3. Observe the Power icon in the Status display
to determine which suspend mode your
system is using.
• Power icon is blinking: Suspend-to-RAM mode.
In this mode, active data is saved by
maintaining power to RAM while most other
system components are powered off. The
Battery Gauge icon in the Status display
indicates the battery charge level.
• Power icon is not displayed: Hibernate
(Save-to-Disk) mode.
In this mode, active data is stored on the hard
disk drive and power usage is reduced to the
same level used in the Off state. When the
system is in Hibernate mode, the Battery
Gauge icon is not visible in the Status display.
In this mode, there is no danger of losing
data if battery power is lost.
If you have successfully performed this
procedure, system operation is now
suspended. Refer to "Resuming System
U s i n g Yo u r S t y l i s t i c S T 4 1 1 0
Operation" later in this chapter to resume
system operation. Also, note the following
with regard to suspending system operation:
• You can remove the battery while the system is
in Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate modes in
order to install a charged battery. To prevent
losing unsaved data, wait until system operation
has suspended before you remove the battery.
Note that after you remove the battery, you have
approximately five minutes to replace it with a
new battery or to plug in a power supply before
the bridge battery is depleted.
• Your system may be configured to suspend
operation automatically after a period of
inactivity.
• Your system may be configured to enter
Hibernate mode automatically after a period
of time in Suspend-to-RAM mode.
• The system uses a small amount of battery
power when in Suspend-to-RAM mode.
Eventually, the battery will become fully
discharged.
If you will not be using the system for an
extended period of time, shut down the
system rather than using Suspend-to-
RAM mode.
• If the battery charge drops to a Low-Battery
Warning level while the system is running, the
system will beep periodically. If this occurs,
suspend system operation, shut down the
system, or attach an external power source,
such as the AC adapter, to the Tablet PC.
• If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low
level while the system is running, the system
is forced into a pre-selected mode (Suspend-
to-RAM or Hibernate). If this occurs, you must
either install a charged battery, or connect an
appropriate external power source such as
the AC adapter before you can resume
system operation. (If the battery charge drops
to a Critically Low level while the system is in
Suspend-to-RAM mode, the system stays in
Suspend-to- RAM mode until power is
restored or totally dissipated.)
• Suspending system operation interrupts data
communications; therefore, some programs
may block the system from suspending to
prevent an interruption.
