Table 2-1 Changing System States

*Information in Table 2-1 on page 20 is supplied to help you understand which system states your system can enter from the current system state. Refer to the procedures on starting the system, shutting down the system, suspending system operation, and resuming system operation given later in this chapter.

†Your system may be configured to use either Suspend-to-RAM mode or Hibernate mode.

POWERING UP THE TABLET PC

Follow the procedure below to start the Stylistic ST4000 Series Tablet PC. Before you begin, confirm that the system is in the Off state. To do so, observe the Status display. If the Power icon is not visible in the Status display, the system is in Off state or in Hibernate (Save- to-Disk) mode and it is safe to perform this procedure. If the Power icon is visible (either blinking or on continu- ously), do not perform this procedure. See “System States” earlier in this chapter for details on modes repre- sented by the Power icon.

1.Ensure that the battery in your Tablet PC is sufficiently charged, or connect an external power source such as the AC adapter or auto adapter to your Tablet PC.

2.Press the Power On/Suspend/Resume button to start the system.

After performing initialization, the system starts the operating system installed on the hard disk drive. Once the operating system is running, you can use the system.

SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM

Follow these steps to shut down and turn off your system:

1.If system operation has been suspended, resume system operation. See “Resuming System Opera- tion” later in this chapter for details.

2.Save your work and close all running programs.

3.Choose Shut Down from the Windows Start menu.

4.Carry out the Shut Down command.

The system is now in the Off state.

SUSPENDING SYSTEM OPERATION

The Tablet PC allows you to suspend the system opera- tion without closing programs or exiting the operating system. Use this feature to conserve battery power when a system shutdown is not practical or when the battery needs to be changed.

P O I N T

If you have set your system to turn power off from the Power Options utility in the Control Panel, the following procedure will not be possible, since pressing the button shuts the system down rather than suspending it. To change your power options, go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Power Options.
