Suspending System Operation - Fujitsu Stylistic 3500 User Manual

Suspending System Operation

The Stylistic 3500 pen tablet allows you to suspend the system operation without
closing programs or exiting the operating system. Use this feature to conserve battery
power when a system shutdown is not practical or when the battery needs to be
changed.
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 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 pack, wait until system operation is
suspended and the power icon is flashing before you remove the battery
pack. Failure to do so could result in loss of your unsaved data.
The Power icon either flashes (Suspend-to-RAM) or is not displayed
(Save-to-Disk) 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.
2. 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: 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
Save-to-Disk 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 Operation" later in this chapter to resume
