Resuming Operation
If security indicator ( ) is displayed upon sliding the power switch, your password has
been set ( page 8).
CAUTION
Save all data before powering off your computer.
When restarting from or shutting down to the suspend or hibernation mode, do
not touch the touch pad or move the mouse (serial or PS/2 type) if one is con-
nected. There are cases where these devices will fail to operate; you will have to
restart your computer using the keyboard ( page 10).
Do not power off during the following periods (you may corrupt your data or
file):
• While the Multimedia pocket indicator ( ) or HDD indicator ( ) is on.
• While playing/recording audio files.
• While communications software is being used.
Do not use the suspend or hibernation function when using an OS other than
Windows 95, the diagnostics program (DIAG25), or the Setup Utility, or when
experiencing static electricity or noise.
If you hold down on the , or key to enter the suspend or hiberna-
tion mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For example,
if you hold down on the key while sliding the power switch, upon resum-
ing, if you do not press the key again, only capital letters will result from
typing.
If your computer locks up, press the reset button. All data is lost when this
button is pressed.
In the suspend mode, power is consumed. If PC cards (e.g., modem card) are
inserted, more of that power is consumed. When all power has been consumed,
all data at shutdown is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recom-
mend plugging in the AC adapter when using the suspend function.
When the file in the external devices such as a CD-ROM drive, external hard
disk, or ATA cards is opened, the suspend or hibernation function may not work.
In such cases, close the file.
SCSI cards may not recover to work after entering the suspend or hibernation
mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.
CAUTION
Do not install or remove peripherals while your computer is in the suspend or hiber-
nation mode; abnormal operation may result.
When operation resumes, serial devices such as a mouse or modem, or your PC Cards
may not work. In such cases, you will need to restart your computer or reinitialize the
individual devices.
