Power

To enter a password manually, follow these steps:

1.Turn on the power as described in Chapter 3, Getting Started. The following message will appear in the LCD:

Enter Password [xxxxxxxx]

At this point, the hotkeys Fn + F1 to F9 do not work. They will function after you enter the password.

2.Enter the Password.

3.Press Enter.

If you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times, the computer shuts down. You must turn on the computer again and re-enter the password.

Power-up modes

The computer has three power-up modes:

■Hibernation (saves data in memory to the hard disk)

■Sleep (power remains on, maintaining the data in memory, but the CPU and all other devices effectively enter a 'sleep' mode)

■Boot (does not save data in memory)

Refer also to the section Turning off the power in Chapter 3, Getting Started.

Windows utilities

You can configure various settings associated with both Sleep Mode and Hibernation Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Power Options).

Hot keys

You can use the FN + F3 hot key to enter Sleep Mode or FN + F4 to enter Hibernation Mode - please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard for further details.
