Windows 95 Power Properties
To open the Windows 95 Power Properties dialog box, double-click
the Power icon in Control Panel. Windows 95 provides the
following options:
■Advanced (default)—Activates power management settings in
Computer Setup and provides some additional power-saving
features.
■Standard—Activates the settings in Computer Setup.
■Off—Turns off all power management. The power management
icon on the status panel turns off.
NOTE: You can also temporarily toggle power management off
and on by pressing the Fn+F7 hotkey. The next time you restart
the computer, the Power Properties setting takes effect.
CAUTION: If power management is off, Hibernation will not
automatically initiate during a critical low-battery condition. To prevent
the loss of unsaved data, take immediate action to save your work and
resolve a low-battery condition.
Suspend
Suspend conserves power by turning off power to system
components when they are not being used. Suspend is initiated
automatically after a period of inactivity (default is 10 minutes).
You can initiate Suspend by pressing the suspend button or by
clicking the Windows Start button, then clicking Suspend.
When Suspend is initiated, the screen blanks, the green
power/suspend lights blinks, and the status panel turns off.
Information remains in system memory until you exit Suspend.
With a fully charged battery, the computer can be left in Suspend
for up to 100 hours.
Exit Suspend by pressing the suspend button or by sliding the
power switch on. Your information returns to the screen at the
point where Suspend was initiated.
