Suspend Mode Lets you select one of two suspend modes: Save to RAM and Save to
Disk.
Save to RAM conserves battery power by stopping almost all computer
activity, but leaves the computer ready to resume operations in seconds
when the power button is pressed. Save to Disk saves all system data
to your hard-disk drive and then turns off all power. Use Save to Disk to
conserve battery power or (in conjunction with Battery Low Suspend) to
preserve system data quickly if you are about to run out of battery power.
Resume on
Modem Ring Sets the computer to resume normal operation when an incoming call is
detected by the modem and the computer is in suspend (or standby)
mode. Settings are On and Off.
NOTE: To use this option, you must set Suspend Mode to Save to
RAM. If Suspend Mode is set to Save to Disk, Resume on Modem
Ring does not function.
Resume On Time Sets the computer to resume operation at a time you specify in the
Resume Time option. (Resume Time appears on the screen only when
Resume On Time is set to On.) Settings are On and Off.
NOTE: To use this option, you must set Suspend Mode to Save to
RAM. If Suspend Mode is set to Save to Disk, Resume on Time does
not function.
Resume Time Resume Time appears on the screen only when Resume On Time is
set to On. Use this option to specify a time for the computer to resume
operation from suspend (or standby) mode.

RAM. If Suspend Mode is set to Save to Disk, Resume Time does not
function.
Use <Tab> or <Shift><Tab> to move between fields in the time setting.
Either enter the time or use the spacebar to increase/descrease the
numbers.

the brightness of the display when running on battery power. Options are

an attached monitor.
