before powering it on again.
3 Log-on to Windows.

the computer will not operate. Confirm that character input is not set to

NOTE
z The power saving function is factory set, so if no key is pressed or if no device
has been accessed for a certain interval of time:
• The power to the LCD and hard disk may be turned off. The LCD will resume
operation when the touch pad, touchscreen or an external mouse (when one
is connected) is used or a key is pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off even when an application software is
being installed. In this case, because it is conceivable that a selection dialog
box will be shown, do not press the
Space
key or the
Enter
key to attempt
to resume from this condition as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead,
press a key unrelated to the direct triggering of a selection, like the
Ctrl
key.
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the
standby or hibernation mode. The computer will resume by sliding the power
switch. (Î “Standby/Hibernation Functions” in onscreen Reference Manual)
