Figure 2-14 Suspend/Resume Button

Using the Suspend/Resume Button When your notebook is active, the Suspend/ Resume button can be used to manually put your notebook in Suspend mode, or in Save-to- Disk mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button, when your notebook is active but no Access indicators are on,and hold it in until it is acknowledged by activation of the selected mode. Which mode is activated depends on the settings in the BIOS setup utility Power Savings menu. The default is Suspend mode. (See page 100 for how to select Save-to-Disk mode.)

If your notebook is suspended,pushing the Suspend/Resume button will return your note- book to active operation at the point it went into suspension. The Suspend/Resume button is located next to the Status Indicator panel above the keyboard of your notebook. (Figure 2-14.)You can tell whether or not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indica- tor. (See page 19.) If it is visible and not flash- ing, your notebook is fully operational. If it

is visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If it is not visible,the power is Off, the power is in the Windows 95 pseudo-off state, or your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode. When you receive your LifeBook 900 Series it will be set to the default which is Suspend mode.
