information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Standby mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. To resume operation, you must use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available,

or your notebook will not resume.

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

HIBERNATE MODE

Hibernate mode saves the contents of your

notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. Your notebook is pre- configured to perform this function. The Hibernate mode can also be configured through the system BIOS to run in other ways depending on what you need to

accomplish. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 31.

The Standby or Hibernate modes should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information.

Disabling the Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put your notebook in Standby or Hibernate mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled.

If your notebook is actively accessing information when you enter the Standby or Hibernate mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Standby mode or the memory is trans- ferred to the internal hard drive during Hibernate mode.

When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.

The main advantage of using the Hibernate function is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leav- ing your notebook in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernate mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets periph- eral devices.

Using Hibernate Mode

To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these easy steps:

1.From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel --> Power Options.

To use Hibernate mode:

1.Click the Ctrl-Alt-Del keys.

2.Select Shut Down from the top of the window.

DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The display timeout is a power management feature. This feature saves power by turning off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows Power Management and BIOS setup utility (APM only). See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 31.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The hard disk timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility (APM only). See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 31.

WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT

The Power Management icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.

1.Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2.Select the Restart option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.
