Do not use the standby or hibernation function when using the network function.
Save all data before powering off your computer.
When restarting from or shutting down to the standby or hibernation mode, do not
touch the touch pad (or move the mouse if one is connected). These devices may fail
to operate, you will then need to restart your computer using the keyboard.
Do not enter the standby or hibernation mode during the following periods (you may
corrupt your data or file):
• While the floppy disk drive indicator ( ), hard disk drive indicator ( ) or CD drive
indicator ( ) is on.
• While playing/recording audio files and displaying images (such as JPEG files).
• While communications software is being used.
Do not enter the standby or hibernation mode during the following periods. The
standby or hibernation function may not work, or the computer (or peripherals) may
fail to work properly.
• When a file in an external device such as a CD drive, external hard disk, or ATA card
is opened, the standby or hibernation function may not work. In such cases, close
the file.
• LAN cards (port), SCSI cards and modem cards (port) etc. may not recover after
entering the standby or hibernation mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.
• When a USB device is in use or is connected to the computer (note: only for some
USB devices). If this occurs, remove the USB device temporarily and restart the
computer.
Do not enter the standby or hibernation mode when using an operating system other
than the one that comes with your computer, the Setup Utility, or when experiencing
static electricity or noise.
If you hold down on Alt , Ctrl or Shift to enter the standby or hibernation mode,
after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For example, if you hold
down on Shift while pushing the power switch, upon resuming, if you do not press
Shift again, only capital letters will result from typing.
Press the power switch and hold it for more than four seconds to power off the com-
puter only when the computer locks up. Data not previously saved will be lost.
In the standby mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards are inserted, more of that
power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all data saved at standby
is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC
adaptor when using the standby function.
If the standby or hibernation function is used repeatedly, the computer may not work
properly. To stabilize computer operations, we recommend shutting down Windows
on a regular basis (about once a week) without using the standby or hibernation
function.
The screen that is displayed when resuming from the hibernation mode may be dif-
ferent from the screen that is displayed before entering the hibernation mode.
