OperationOperation

The 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 connected) 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 unrelated 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 ( “Standby/Hibernation Functions”). The computer
will resume by sliding the power switch.
You may hear a mechanical “click” shortly after the hard disk indicator has turned
off when there has been no input from a key or device operation, when the computer
enters the standby or hibernation mode, or when Windows is shut down. This is the
sound of the head shifting positions, to reduce power consumption or to protect the
hard disk from shocks. This sound does not indicate a malfunction.
Windows XP
When switching to a different user with the Fast User Switching function, it may
not be possible to set the settings of the display. In this case, log off all logged in
users, and try the operation once more. If the problem persists, restart the computer.
