Closing the Display

One way to conserve power on the computer is to close the display when the computer is not in use. When you close the display and an external monitor is not connected, the computer's display shuts off and the computer enters suspend mode (standby mode in Windows 98).

NOTE: If an external monitor is connected when you close the display, the computer does not activate suspend (or standby) mode. You can still use the external monitor.

To resume work, open the display. (The computer may take several seconds to resume operation.)

Suspend Mode

If your computer is running the Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT® operating system, suspend mode stops almost all computer activity, but leaves the computer ready to resume operations immediately in about 20 to 30 seconds. Use suspend mode whenever you leave the computer unattended.
