(After releasing your finger from the sleep switch, while the computer is in the suspend or hibernation mode, do not touch the sleep switch or the power switch.)

CAUTION
At the "beep*" sound, release your finger from the sleep switch. If you continue to press down on the switch and hold it for more than four seconds, the "beep*" sound will come out again and the power will go off. Data not previously saved will be lost.
Slide the power switch to power on. The power will not go on by pressing the sleep switch.
Even when [Sleep Switch] is set to [No Action] with the Setup Utility, if the sleep switch is pressed, a beep will sound and the power will go off if the button is pressed for more than four seconds.
If the computer will not be operated for an extended period of time, it is recom- mended that hibernation mode is used instead of suspend mode.
*When the speaker function is disabled, e.g., by setting [Disable] for [Speaker] with the
Setup Utility ( |
| page 34) or by the key combination Fn + F4 , there will be no beep |
sound. |
