SECTION 1
Standby Mode
Standby mode is one of the power management parameters. When Standby mode is activated, your
LifeBook shuts off the display and turns off the hard drive when there is no activity (keystroke, pointer
action, sound generation, video display change, modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your
LifeBook for the user-selected Standby time-out period. Any activity will cause your LifeBook to return
to normal operation automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume/Power On
button.
Display Timeout
The Video Timeout is one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning
off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any
keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically. This feature is independent
of the Suspend/Resume/Power On button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS
setup utility.
Hard Disk Timeout
The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves
power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout
period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is
independent of the Suspend/Resume/Power On button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows
and BIOS setup utility.
Windows 98 Second Edition Or Me Power Management
The Power Management icon located in the Windows 98 Second Edition or Me Control Panel allows
you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power
Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are
running the LifeBook on battery power or one of the adapters. The settings may also be changed in
the BIOS.
Restarting The System
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to restart your LifeBook. Your LifeBook will shut down and then reboot.
CAUTION
Turning off your LifeBook without exiting Windows or turning on your LifeBook within 10 seconds
of the LifeBook being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time.
