Also ensure that you disable wireless communication and turn off any wireless communication devices. while in Sleep mode the computer operating system may reactivate itself to run pre-programmed tasks or to preserve unsaved data, and might interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing serious injury.

■Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.

■Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in Sleep Mode. The computer or the memory module could be damaged.
