6Suspend/Hibernation FunctionsSave all data before powering off your computer.When restarting from or shutting down to the suspend or hibernation mode, do nottouch the touch pad (or move the mouse (serial or PS/2 type) if one is connected).These devices may fail to operate, you will then need to restart your computer usingthe keyboard.Do not power off during the following periods (you may corrupt your data or file):• While the MP indicator ( ) or HDD indicator ( ) is on.• While playing/recording audio files.• While communications software is being used.Do not use the suspend or hibernation function when using an operating systemother than the one that comes with your computer, the Setup Utility, or when experi-encing static electricity or noise.If you hold down on the Alt , Ctrl or Shift key to enter the suspend orhibernation mode, after resuming operation, you must press the same key. For ex-ample, if you hold down on the key while pushing the sleep switch, uponresuming, if you do not press the key again, only capital letters will result fromtyping.Only when the computer stops operating or locks up should the sleep switch be heldmore than four seconds to power off the computer. Slide the power switch to poweron and data not previously saved will be lost.In the suspend mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards (e.g., a modem card) areinserted, more of that power is consumed. When all power has been consumed, alldata at shut down is lost since it is retained in memory. We therefore recommendplugging in the AC adapter when using the suspend function.Repeatedly using the suspend or hibernation function will use up a lot of the systemresources and the computer may not work properly. Shut down Windows ([Start]-[Shut Down]) on a regular basis, e.g., about one time a week, without using thesuspend or hibernation function. Doing so will restore the system resources.Do not use the suspend or hibernation function during the following periods. Thesuspend or hibernation function, or peripherals may not work.• When a file in an external device such as a CD-ROM drive, external hard disk, orATA card is opened, the suspend or hibernation function may not work. In suchcases, close the file.• LAN cards, SCSI cards and modem cards etc. may not recover after entering thesuspend or hibernation mode. If this occurs, restart the computer.Confirm that Phoenix APM 2.0 for Windows NT® is installed, in order for the date andtime to be normally displayed with the suspend or hibernation function. (If [APM 2.0for NT] is displayed in [Control Panel], this means that the program is installed.)Do not use the suspend or hibernation function when using in a network environmentor when connecting the port replicator.If [Suspend Timeout] or [Hibernation Timeout] has been set to [16 min] in the SetupUtility, the timeout function may not work.Precautions for Using the Suspend or Hibernation FunctionShiftShift
