Sleep Mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this
mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so that when you
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
■ Make sure the Hard Disk Drive indicator is off. If you turn off the power
while a disk (disc) is being accessed, you may lose data or damage the
disk.
■ Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so could
cause loss of data.
■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or
remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause data
loss.
Do not turn the computer or peripheral devices back on immediately - wait
a short period to avoid any potential damage.
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, and turn off any wireless communication
switches or 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.
