notebook in Suspend or Save-to-Disk
mode. The resume function of the button
cannot be disabled.

If your notebook is active when you
enter the Suspend 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.

Windows 95 desktop access to a comprehensive
combination of power management settings

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.

status for 24 hours or more.
