P O I N T
Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The super- visor password can override the user password.
PRECAUTIONS
Opening and Closing the Cover
Closing the cover automatically places the LifeBook into suspend mode. Opening the cover does not automati- cally place the LifeBook into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Suspend/Resume button.
Low Battery Operations
If your LifeBook has low battery, pushing the suspend/ resume button only turns on the Lock Indicator LED. Your LifeBook does not unlock, the Lock Indicator LED turns off after one minute. To resume normal opera- tion, first attach a power supply to the LifeBook. Then you may unlock the LifeBook.
