The clock throttle sometimes effects floppy disk drive performance and may, in some instances
cause problems with floppy transfers. These problems may occur when formatting or booting
from a floppy disk and are very dependent on other system settings and which operating system
is in use. For compatibility reasons, we have left the default set to "Disabled". However, if you,
like most users, use the floppy drive infrequently, you may want to enable this feature.
Bc7ttery Low Suspend
The default setting for this is "Disabled." When enabled, the system will automatically suspend
when the battery has about ten minutes of usable operating time left. The system will suspend
using the method you have specified in the "Suspend Data to" field.
The purpose of this option is to ensure that you don't lose work, by giving you time to connect
the AC adapter while the system is in a minimum power consumption mode. The idea is that
once in suspend mode, the remaining time before the battery fails is significantly extended,
giving you time to decide what you want to do. If you want to, you can reactivate the system
from Suspend-to-RAM by pressing the Suspend button. You will still have enough time to
immediately save your work, quit, and turn off the computer.
If you have set the computer to suspend to the hard disk, you won't be able to return to the active
system state without first completely suspend-

ing to disk and then restoring. Restoring the active system state is very disk-intensive and could
use up the battery before the system fully restores. Because of this, you should definitely connect
the AC adapter before you reactivate the system.
A better approach is to keep your eye on the battery gauge, and recharge or replace the battery
before time gets critical. If you don't want to use this feature, leave it disabled.
Modem Ring Resume
When you enable this, the system will automatically 'wake up' (Resume) from Suspend-to-RAM
if the fax modem detects an incoming call on the telephone line connected to it. The default
setting for this is "Disabled."
Alarm Resume
This works like an alarm clock. When enabled, the system will automatically 'wake up' (Resume)
from Suspend-to-RAM at a time you set in the "Alarm Time" field that follows it. The default
setting for this is "Disabled."
Alarm Time
This is where you set the alarm for the "Alarm Resume" feature. The time format is 24-hour or
"military" time. The alarm will activate and wake up the system at the next point the system
clock reaches the time you set.
