P O I N T

If your notebook is active when you enter the Suspend mode or Save-to-Disk mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Save-to-Disk mode.

C A U T I O N

If you are running your notebook on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your note- book is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully operational. With a fully charged internal Lithium ion battery the Suspend mode will maintain your status for 24 hours or more.

PowerPanel

PowerPanel by Phoenix Technologies provides Windows 95 desktop access to a comprehensive combination of power management settings without entering the BIOS setup utility.

The PowerPanel icon looks like an atom with its cloud of electrons. This icon will open the PowerPanel menu. You can view the menu in icon format along the edge of your desktop by moving the cursor against the edge whe re you have chosen to keep your PowerPanel toolbar and letting it sit there until the toolbar appears. (The default position for the toolbar is the left side of the screen, but you can move it to whichever edge you like by dragging.)

The power management toolbar has ten power profile choices and six activation choices. When you switch to AC powered operation the PowerPanel toolbar will automatically change to indicate AC power operation and will show the AC Power profile as active.

The profiles are groups of system settings designed to fit power operation to specific user operating conditions. The activations are short- cut ways to turn on specific power management features of your notebook. Some of the profiles can be edited and saved from the PowerPanel application, some can be edited and saved from the BIOS setup utility and only viewed from PowerPanel,and some are factory set and can only be viewed from either PowerPanel or the BIOS setup utility.

The profile choices are:

(This group is factory set.)

■Maximum Battery Life.

■Maximum Performance.

■Power Management Off.

(This one is set only from the BIOS setup utility.)

■Custom Settings.
