Standby/Hibernation Functions
Precautions for Using the Standby or Hibernation Function
Save all data before powering off your computer.
When restarting from or shutting down to the standby or hibernation mode, do not
touch the touch pad (or move the mouse if one is connected). These devices may fail
to operate, you will then need to restart your computer using the keyboard.
Windows 98
In addition, when restarting from the hibernation mode, do not use the touch pad
or keyboard, or slide the power switch, until Windows completely resumes.
(After the resume processing screen is displayed, nothing will appear on the dis-
play for 5 - 35 seconds, but the Windows display will appear soon after that.)
Do not use the standby or hibernation function during the following periods (you may
corrupt your data or file):
• While the MP indicator (
* Except when using a second battery pack
• While playing/recording audio files.
• While communications software is being used.
Do not use the standby or hibernation function during the following periods. The
standby or hibernation function may not work, or the computer (or peripherals) may
fail to work properly.
• When a file in an external device such as a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, external
hard disk, or ATA card is opened, the standby or hibernation function may not work.
In such cases, close the file.
• LAN cards, SCSI cards and modem cards (port) etc. may not recover after entering
the standby or hibernation mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.
Do not use the standby or hibernation function when using an operating system
other than the one that comes with your computer, the Setup Utility, or when experi-
encing static electricity or noise.
If you hold down on the Alt , Ctrl or Shift key to enter the standby or hibernation
mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For example, if you hold
down on the Shift key while sliding the power switch, upon resuming, if you do not
press the Shift key again, only capital letters will result from typing.
Slide the power switch and hold it for more than four seconds to power off the com-
puter only when the computer locks up. Data not previously saved will be lost.
In the standby mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards are inserted, more of that
power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all data at standby is lost
since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC adaptor
when using the standby function.
Do not use the standby or hibernation function when using the network function.
If the standby or hibernation function is used repeatedly, the computer may not work
properly. To stabilize computer operations, we recommend shutting down Windows
([Start] - [Shut Down]) on a regular basis (about once a week) without using the
standby or hibernation function.
The screen that is displayed when resuming from the hibernation mode may be dif-
ferent from the screen that is displayed before entering the hibernation mode.
