4. 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 Power icon in the Status display
indicates the battery charge level. A fully charged 3-cell battery pack can
maintain data in RAM for approximately 7 days; a fully charged 6-cell battery
pack can maintain data for approximately 14 days. A partially charged battery
pack will maintain data in RAM for proportionately less time.
• 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 Power 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 system operation.
Also, note the following with regard to suspending system operation:
• You can remove the battery pack while the system is in Save-to-Disk mode, but not
Suspend-to-RAM mode (unless the AC adapter is connected). To prevent losing
unsaved data, always perform Save-to-Disk before you remove the battery pack.
• Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period of
inactivity.
• Your system may be configured to enter Save-to-Disk 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.
Note: 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 pack charge drops to the Low-Battery Warning level while the system
is running, the Power icon will turn red and blink intermittently. If this occurs,
suspend system operation, shut down the system, or attach an external power
source, such as the AC adapter, to the pen tablet.
• If the battery charge drops to the Critically Low level while the system is running,
the system is forced into Suspend-to-RAM mode. If this occurs, you must connect an
appropriate external power source such as the AC adapter before you can resume
