off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data
loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without

off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The

If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.
If you are running your LifeBook notebook
on battery power, be aware that the
battery continues to discharge while your
notebook is in Standby mode, though not
as fast as when fully operational.
■
The Standby or Hibernate modes should
not be used with certain PC Cards.
Check your PC Card documentation for
more information.
■
When PC Cards or external devices are
in use, Hibernate mode cannot return to
the exact state prior to suspension,
because all of the peripheral devices will
be re-initialized when the system
restarts.
Turning off your LifeBook notebook with-
out exiting Windows or turning on your
notebook within 10 seconds of the note-
book being shut off may cause an error
when you start the next time.
Be sure to close all files, exit all applica-
tions, and shut down your operating sys-
tem prior to turning off the power. If files
are open when you turn the power off,
you will lose any changes that have not
been saved, and may cause disk errors.
