P O I N T

If your notebook is active when you enter the Suspend mode or Save-to-Disk mode, changes to open files are not lost.

The files are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Save-to-Disk mode.

C A U T I O N

If you are running your notebook on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your notebook is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully operational.

With a fully charged internal Lithium ion battery the Suspend mode will maintain your status for 24 hours or more.

The Suspend/Resume button can be configured for use as an Undock Request button if your notebook is being used in the LAN Enhancement

Unit. Use the BIOS setup utility to change the function. (See the Power Savings Menu of the

BIOS setup utility, pages 88-89, for more informa-

tion.) When set as an Undock Request button it performs the same function as the

PC Eject icon of the Windows 95 Start Menu.

While operating in the LAN Enhancement Unit, press the Undock Request button, when the display goes blank and the Docking Indicator turns green, it is safe to undock your notebook from your LAN Enhancement Unit. Your notebook can then be restarted with the Undock

Request button. To redock your notebook, press the Undock Request button and when the display goes blank it is safe to d ock your notebook in the LAN Enhancement Unit.Once it is docked, restart your notebook with the

Undock Request button.

C A U T I O N

Never undock your notebook if the

Docking indicator is not green unless your notebook is turned off by the power switch.

PowerPanel

PowerPanel by Phoenix Technologies provides

Windows 95 desktop access to a comprehensive combination of power management settings without entering the BIOS setup utility.

The PowerPanel icon looks like an atom with its cloud of electrons. This icon will open the

PowerPanel menu. You can view the menu in icon format along the edge of your desktop by moving the cursor against the edge whe re you have chosen to keep your PowerPanel toolbar and letting it sit there until the toolbar appears.

(The default position for the toolbar is the left side of the screen, but you can move it to whichever edge you like by dragging.)

The power management toolbar has ten power profile choices and six activation choices.

When you switch to AC powered operation the

PowerPanel toolbar will automatically change to indicate AC power operation and will show the

AC Power profile as active.

The profiles are groups of system settings designed to fit power operation to specific user operating conditions. The activations are shortcut ways to turn on specific power management features of your notebook. Some of the profiles can be edited and saved from the PowerPanel application, some can be edited and saved from the BIOS setup utility and only viewed from

PowerPanel,and some are factory set and can only be viewed from either PowerPanel or the

BIOS setup utility.

The profile choices are:

(This group is factory set.)

■

Maximum Battery Life.

■

■

Maximum Performance.

Power Management Off.

■

(This one is set only from the

BIOS setup utility.)

Custom Settings.

(This group is set from PowerPanel.)

■

The factory set Maximum Battery Life profile is designed around trade offs of performance and battery life. For truly maximum battery life keep the display and volume levels as low as possible and use the custom settings recommended in Section Three on page 91.

P O I N T

The AC Power profile is activated automatically when a power adapter is being used, unless it is overridden by another selection made after the adapter became active. It can be reactivated by selecting it or activated by selection, even when operating only on battery power.
