Getting Started
Sleep Mode
In Sleep mode the power remains on, but the processor and all other
devices are in Sleep mode.
Benefits of Sleep Mode
The Sleep Mode feature provides the following benefits:
■ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does the
Hibernation Mode feature.
■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives
no input or hardware access for the time period set by the System
Sleep Mode feature.
■ Allows the use of the panel power off feature.
Turning Off Your Computer where Electronic Devices are Regulated or
Controlled.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always shut down
the computer completely or put the computer into Hibernation mode
instead of allowing it to go into Sleep mode. Also ensure that you disable
wireless communication and turn off any wireless communication devices.
while in Sleep mode the computer operating system may reactivate itself
to run pre-programmed tasks or to preserve unsaved data, and might
interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing serious injury.
■ Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Sleep Mode. The computer or the memory module could be damaged.
■ Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode
(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in
memory could be lost.
■ To enable or disable wireless communication, use the Hot Key
FN + F8. For more information see the Hot keys section in Chapter 5 .
■ You can disable Wireless communication in BIOS Setup or HW Setup.
After disabling the wireless communication function, confirm the
Wireless communication indicator is turned off. If the Wireless
communication indicator is turned on, the wireless communication is
enabled and radio waves from the computer may affect electronic
devices. For details of BIOS Setup and HW Setup, please refer to
Chapter 7 .
