Suspend Mode Suspend mode includes a method of operation called
Suspend/Resume that stores information in RAM and maintains RAM
contents after shutting down all local devices. You can also select Save
to File, which saves all your open data files to a special file on the hard
disk and turns the system completely off. When you turn the system back
on or when you select Resume, all your data is automatically recovered
from where you left off.
T
Suspend Warning Tone This parameter lets you enable or disable a
warning tone when Suspend mode starts. Keep this option enabled.
T
PCMCIA (PC) Card Power This parameter lets you turn off power to
the PC Card slots in order to conserve power. Slot power cannot be
turned off if a card is installed in the slot.
Fn and F7
Another way to toggle between the power settings described here is using the
function key, Fn + F7. Press Fn + F7 to toggle through the various Power
Management settings. The faucet icon on the status bar changes to reflect
the new setting.
Any selection you make by pressing Fn + F7 overrides the settings you made
on the Power Savings Setup screen. The Setup power settings are not in ef-
fect until the next power-on.
Security
Your NEC Versa 4200 supports a password for system security on several
levels. Using the Security screen, you can require that a password be entered

each time the system resumes from Suspend mode.
To use your system, you are not prompted to enter a password until you set
an initial password. Your system is not protected until you set a password.
Once you set a password, you must enter it before you can enter Setup; this
feature allows only an authorized user to change system parameters. In ad-
dition, you can choose to require the password be entered each time you start
the system and each time the system resumes from Suspend mode.
