Power Management

Your Fujitsu LifeBook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention, such as those for the internal modem. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating condi- tions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your LifeBook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly.

For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your LifeBook into Suspend mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.

SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON

When your LifeBook is active, the Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put your LifeBook into Suspend mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button when your LifeBook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and your system will enter Suspend mode.

If your LifeBook is suspended, pushing the Suspend/ Resume button will return your LifeBook to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-8 on page 16) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your LifeBook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your LifeBook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your LifeBook is in Hibernation (Save-to- Disk) mode. (See Hibernation Mode)

SUSPEND MODE

Suspend or Standby mode in Windows 98 Second Edition saves the contents of your LifeBook’s system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your LifeBook can be put in Suspend mode by:

■Pressing the Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.

■Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.

■Timing out from lack of activity.

■Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

Your LifeBook’s system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open application(s) information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, your LifeBook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your LifeBook

will not resume.

C A U T I O N

If you are running your LifeBook on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your LifeBook is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully operational.

HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE

The Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) feature saves the contents of your LifeBook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.

Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature

The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature, follow these steps:

1.From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel.

2.From the Control Panel, select Power Options.

3.Select the Hibernation tab. Select the box to enable or disable this feature.

Using the Hibernation Feature

1.From the Start menu, select Settings, then select Control Panel.

2.From the Control Panel, select Power Options.

3.Select the Advanced tab. Select Hibernate from the pull down menu for Power buttons.

P O I N T

Disabling the Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook in Suspend

or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode. The resume func- tion of the button cannot be disabled.
