Possible Cause

1. The power management parameters are set
for auto timeouts which are too short for
your operating needs.
2. You are operating on battery only and have
ignored a low battery alarm until the batteries
are all at the dead battery state and your machine
has gone into Dead Battery Suspend mode.
Possible Solution
8. If the batteries are dead there will be a beep
when the power switch is turned on and the
notebook will immediately go into Dead
Battery Suspend mode. (See page 41.)
Check the Status Indicator panel to deter
mine the presence and condition of the –

Power adapter to operate until a battery is
charged or install a charged battery.
1. Use the keyboard or pointer and if that does
not restore operation, push the Suspend/
Resume button. Check the power management
settings or close your applications and go to
the setup utility Power Savings menu and
adjust the timeout values to better suit
your operation needs.
2. Install a Power adapter and then push the
