Refer to the "Resuming operation" section in this chapter to resume system operation. Also, note
the following with regard to suspending system operation:
● You can remove the battery while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate mode in
order to install a charged battery. To prevent losing unsaved data, wait until system operation
has suspended before you remove the battery.
Note that after you remove the battery, you have approximately five minutes to replace it with a
new battery or to plug in a power supply before the buffer battery is depleted.
● Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period of inactivity.
● Your system may be configured to enter Hibernate mode automatically after a period of time in
Suspend-to-RAM mode.
● The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Suspend-to-RAM mode.
Eventually, the battery will become fully discharged.
i
If you will not be using the system for an extended period of time, shut down the system
rather than using Suspend-to-RAM mode.
● If the battery charge drops to a Low Battery warning level while the system is running, the
system will beep periodically. If this occurs, suspend system operation, shut down the system,
or attach an external power source, such as the power adapter, to the Tablet PC.
● If the battery charge drops to a critically low level while the system is running, the system is
forced into a pre-selected mode (Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate). If this occurs, you must
either install a charged battery, or connect an appropriate external power source such as the
power adapter before you can resume system operation. (If the battery charge drops to a
critically low level while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM mode, the system stays in Suspend-
to-RAM mode until power is restored or totally dissipated.)
● When the system changes into suspend mode, any data transfer currently in progress is
interrupted. Therefore, some programs may block the system from suspending to prevent an
interruption.
● The suspend function of the On/Resume/Suspend button may be disabled to prevent
accidental interruption. If this is the case, pressing the On/Resume/Suspend button will not
suspend system operation as described here. (In this case, suspend mode can only be
achieved using the system software.)
● If your system is equipped with a PC card that allows you to connect to a wired or wireless
network, you may be logged off the network after a period of inactivity while system operation
is suspended. Contact your network administrator for details on log-off parameters for your
network.
