In Windows 98 Auto-suspend Timeout, Hard Disk Timeout, and Video Timeout features are available exclusively through the operating system.

C A U T I O N

In Save-to-Disk mode there is no indication on the Status Indicator to let you know you are suspended rather than shut off from the power switch. You may want to make a habit of always trying the Suspend/ Resume button before using the power switch.

C A U T I O N

Resume on Modem ring when enabled will draw power from the bridge battery alone when your system is running off battery power. This may potentially drain your bridge battery. Disabling Resume on Modem ring will prevent this from happening.

P O I N T

When resuming from a Save-to-Disk suspension there will be a delay while the contents of system memory and operating parameters are loaded from the hard drive.
