NOTE
zThe power saving function is factory set, so if there is no input from a key, the
touch pad or an external mouse (when one is connected) for a certain interval of
time, the power to the LCD and hard disk may be turned off. The LCD will
resume operation when the touch pad or an external mouse (when one is con-
nected) is used or a key is pressed.
The power to the LCD may be turned off even when an application software is
being installed. In this case, because it is conceivable that a selection dialog
box will be shown, do not press
Space
or
Enter
to attempt to resume from
this condition as doing so may trigger a selection, but instead, press a key unre-
lated to the direct triggering of a selection, like
Ctrl
.
In addition, when the computer is left alone, it automatically enters the standby
or hibernation mode. The computer will resume by pressing the power switch.

down then switch the power on again.
