the field’s function and any special information needed
to help understand the field’s use.

available exclusively through the operating system.

When resuming from a Save-to-Disk suspension there
will be a delay while the contents of system memory
and operating parameters are loaded from the hard
drive.
CAUTIONS
n
In Save-to-Disk mode there is no indication on the
Status Indicator to let you know you are suspended
rather than shut off from the power switch. You may
want to make a habit of always trying the Suspend/
Resume button before using the power switch.
n
Resume on Modem ring when enabled will draw
power from the bridge battery alone when your sys-
tem is running off battery power. This may potentially
drain your bridge battery. Disabling Resume on
Modem ring will prevent this from happening.
