Other Suspend/Resume Issues 2
Other issues you should consider when suspending or resuming system operation
include the following:
• Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period
of inactivity. Also, your system can be configured to resume operation
automatically at a given time or when the optional modem detects a ring on the
phone line.
• The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Suspend mode.
Eventually, the battery will become fully discharged. (A fully charged battery
pack can power the system in Suspend mode for about 10 days.) If you will not be
using the system for an extended period of time, shut down the system rather
than using Suspend mode.
• If the battery pack charge drops to the Low-Battery Warning level while the
system is in Suspend mode, the system will beep periodically (regardless of the
speaker volume setting). If this occurs, either resume system operation and shut
down the system or attach an external power source, such as the AC adapter, to
the pen tablet.
• If the system is running (or in Suspend mode) when the battery pack charge drops
to the Critically Low level, the system is forced into Suspend mode and cannot be
resumed until external power is connected or a charged battery pack is installed.
If this occurs, install a charged battery pack or connect an external power source
such as the AC adapter.
• Suspending system operation interrupts data communications; however, some
programs may block the system from suspending to prevent an interruption.
• The Suspend/Resume button on your system may be disabled. If this is the case,
pressing the Suspend/Resume button will not suspend system operation as
described here.
• If your system is equipped with a wireless LAN adapter, you may be logged off
the network after a period of inactivity while system operation is suspended.
Contact your network administrator or local help desk for details on log-off
parameters for your network.
• Your system may be configured to resume when activity is detected on the serial
port or when a ring is detected on the modem line.
