3.Observe the Power icon in the Status display to determine which suspend mode your system is using.
■Power icon is blinking: Standby mode.
In this mode, active data is saved by maintaining power to RAM while most other system components are powered off. The Battery Gauge icon in the Status display indicates the battery charge level.
■Power icon is not displayed: Hibernate mode.
In this mode, active data is stored on the hard disk drive and power usage is reduced to the same level used in the Off state. When the system is in Hibernate mode, the Battery Gauge icon is not visible in the Status display. In this mode, there is no danger of losing data if battery power is lost.
If you have successfully performed this procedure, system operation is now suspended. Refer to “Resuming System Operation” later in this chapter to resume system operation. Also, note the following with regard to suspending system operation:
■You can remove the battery while the system is in Standby or Hibernate modes in order to install a charged battery. To prevent losing unsaved data, wait until system operation has suspended before you remove the battery. Note that after you remove the battery, you have approximately five minutes to replace it with a new battery or to plug in a power supply before the bridge battery is depleted.
■Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period of inactivity.
■Your system may be configured to enter Hibernate mode automatically after a period of time in Standby mode.
■The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Standby mode. Eventually, the battery will become fully discharged.
If you will not be using the system for an extended period, shut down the system rather than using Standby mode.
■If the battery charge drops to a
■If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is running, the system is forced into a Standby or Hibernate mode. If this occurs, you must either install a charged battery, or connect an external
power source such as the AC adapter before you can resume system operation. (If the charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is in Standby mode, the system stays in that mode until power is restored or totally dissipated.)
■Suspending system operation interrupts data commu- nications; therefore, some programs may block the system from suspending to prevent an interruption.
■The suspend action of the Suspend/Resume button may be disabled to prevent accidental interruption. If this is the case, pressing the Suspend/Resume button will not suspend system operation as described here. (In this case, standby mode can only be achieved using the system software). Contact your local help desk or reseller if your system configuration is not suitable.
■If your system is equipped with a PC Card that allows you to connect to a wired or wireless network, you may be logged off the network after a period of inac- tivity while system operation is suspended. Contact your network administrator or help desk, or call Fujitsu Service and Support at
RESUMING SYSTEM OPERATION
To resume operation from either Standby or Hibernate modes, press the Suspend/Resume button.
■From Standby mode
Status lights indicate that the system state is changing. It may take up to a minute before the system returns to the On state and system operation resumes. Note that the display turns on shortly before the pen becomes active due to the
■From Hibernate mode
Active data is read from the hard disk drive, and the system returns to the On state after a short time.
Note that power to several system components must be restored before system operation resumes. Allow sufficient time for system operation to resume before attempting to use the system. If your system uses Hibernate mode, it will take longer to resume operation as compared to using Standby mode. Time is needed to read data from the hard disk drive.
Use the system as you normally would once system oper- ation resumes.
All programs resume at the point where execution stopped when system operation was suspended.
