The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-
Disk) mode should not be used with cer-
tain PC Cards. Check your PC Card docu-
mentation for more information.
When PC Cards or external devices are in
use, Hibernation mode cannot return to
the exact state prior to suspension,
because all of the peripheral devices will be
re-initialized when the system restarts.
Turning off your LifeBook notebook with-
out exiting Windows or turning on your
notebook within 10 seconds of the note-
book being shut off may cause an error
when you start the next time.
Be sure to close all files, exit all applica-
tions, and shut down your operating sys-
tem prior to turning off the power. If files
are open when you turn the power off,
you will lose any changes that have not
been saved, and may cause disk errors.
