Precautions for Using the Suspend or Hibernation Function

Save all data before powering off your computer.

When restarting from or shutting down to the suspend or hibernation mode, do not touch the touch pad (or move the mouse (serial or PS/2 type) if one is connected). These devices may fail to operate, you will then need to restart your computer using the keyboard.

Do not power off during the following periods (you may corrupt your data or file):

While the MP indicator () or HDD indicator () is on.

While playing/recording audio files.

While communications software is being used.

Do not use the suspend or hibernation function when using an operating system other than the one that comes with your computer, the Setup Utility, or when experiencing static electricity or noise.

If you hold down on the Alt , Ctrl or Shift key to enter the suspend or hibernation mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For ex- ample, if you hold down on the Shift key while pushing the sleep switch, upon resuming, if you do not press the Shift key again, only capital letters will result from typing.

Only when the computer stops operating or locks up should the sleep switch be held more than four seconds to power off the computer. Slide the power switch to power on and data not previously saved will be lost.

In the suspend mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards (e.g., a modem card) are inserted, more of that power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, all data at shut down is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC adapter when using the suspend function.

Repeatedly using the suspend or hibernation function will use up a lot of the system resources and the computer may not work properly. Shut down Windows ([Start]- [Shut Down]) on a regular basis, e.g., about one time a week, without using the sus- pend or hibernation function. Doing so will restore the system resources.

Do not use the suspend or hibernation function during the following periods. The suspend or hibernation function, or peripherals may not work.

When a file in external devices such as a CD-ROM drive, external hard disk, or ATA card is opened, the suspend or hibernation function may not work. In such cases, close the file.

SCSI cards may not recover after entering the suspend or hibernation mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.

After a Windows 95 USB device driver has been installed, do not use the suspend or hibernation function. If the suspend or hibernation mode is activated, the computer may not function properly. Power off, then on, using the power switch to resume proper operation.

If you want to use the suspend or hibernation function after the USB driver is installed, disable the USB device function of the computer by following the procedure below.

1In [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [System] - [Device Manager], select [Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller] in [Universal serial bus control- ler].

2Add the check mark for [Disable in this hardware profile] in [Properties] - [Gen- eral], press [OK], and then press [Close].

3In [Start] - [Shut Down], select [Restart], then press [OK].

If you want to enable the USB device function again, delete the check mark for [Dis- able in this hardware profile] in step 2. When the message appears asking whether to reboot the computer, select [Yes]. If the message is not displayed, go to step 3.
