Using the Suspend Mode
The Suspend mode provides an efficient way to save battery
power. There are three ways to enter Suspend mode:
Close the computer cover.
Press + ( Press the spacebar to resume.)
Set the Power Management options in SETUP.
An easy way to enter Suspend mode is to close the computer’s
cover. The Suspend light on the computer comes on. When you
open the cover, the Suspend light goes out and you can resume
activity immediately.
You can also press to enter Suspend mode and
temporarily stop system activity when you do not need to use
your computer for short periods of time. The Suspend light
lights up and the screen goes dark. The computer suspends
power to its components and devices but continues to supply
power to the RAM. (If you are not going to use the computer
for a longer time-20 minutes or so-turn it off.) To resume
activity, press the spacebar. The computer resumes normal
operation at the point at which you suspended it.
If you want to set regular suspend intervals, you can set the
Power Management timeout options in SETUP. When you
enable these options, the computer automatically enters
Suspend mode if you have not used it for the specified period
of time. When you are ready to resume activity, press the
spacebar.
