to return to normal operation automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button.

DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The Video Timeout is one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 29.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 29.

WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT

The Power Management icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the LifeBook on battery power or one of the adapters. The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 29.

1.Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2.Select the Restart option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

C A U T I O N

Turning off your LifeBook without exiting Windows or turning on your LifeBook within 10 seconds of the LifeBook being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time.

POWER OFF

Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down from the Windows Start menu, check that the Hard Drive, CD-ROM, PC Card and the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See Figure 2-5 on page 8) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To assure that your LifeBook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.

C A U T I O N

Be sure to close all files, exit all applications, and shut down your operating system prior to turning off the power with the power switch. If files are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows, allows your LifeBook to complete its opera- tions and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

1.Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2.Select the Shut Down option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

3.Click OK.

4.Move the power switch to the off position.

If you are going to store your LifeBook for a month or more see the Care and Maintenance section.
