Standby/Hibernation Functions

Using the Power Switch

Do not enter either the standby or hibernation mode under the following conditions. You
may corrupt your data or file, the standby or hibernation function may not work, or the
computer (or peripherals) may fail to work properly.
• When the hard disk drive indicator
• When playing/recording audio files and displaying images (such as MPEG files).
• When using communications software or the network function.
• When using PC Cards.
(If these cards fail to work properly, restart the computer.)
When entering the standby or hibernation mode
Standby mode: until the power indicator blinks green
Hibernation mode: until the power indicator goes off
Avoid the following:
• Using the keyboard, touch pad, digitizer, tablet buttons, or power switch.
• Using external mouse or other peripheral devices.
• Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
• Closing or opening the display.
It may take one or two minutes to enter the standby or hibernation mode.
In standby or hibernation mode
Do not insert or remove peripherals; abnormal operation may result.
In standby mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards are inserted, more power is consumed.
When all power has been consumed, all data saved at standby is lost since it is retained in
memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC adaptor when using the standby
function.
