STANDBY MODE
Standby mode is one of the power management parame-
ters. When Standby mode is activated, your LifeBook
shuts off the display and turns off the hard drive when
there is no activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound
generation, video display change, modem transmission
or reception, etc.) on your LifeBook for the user selected
time-out period. Any activity will cause your LifeBook
to return to normal operation automatically. This
feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button.
DISPLAY TIMEOUT
The Video Timeout is one of the power management
parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer
activity will cause the display to restart automatically.
This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume
button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and
BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 31 for
more information)
HARD DISK TIMEOUT
The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power
management parameters. This feature saves power by
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart
automatically. This feature is independent of the
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS
Setup Utility on page 31 for more information)
WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT
Power Management
The Power Management icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the
Power Management to set the timeout values for turning
off the display and hard disks whether you are running
the LifeBook on battery power or one of the adapters.
The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See BIOS
Setup Utility on page 31 for more information)
RESTARTING THE SYSTEM
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure
that you use the following procedure.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down .
2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to restart your LifeBook. Your LifeBook
will shut down and then reboot.
P O I N T
The main advantage of using the Hibernation (Save-to-
Disk) function is that power is not required to maintain
your data. This is particularly important if you will be
leaving your LifeBook in a suspended state for a pro-
longed period of time. The drawback of using Hiberna-
tion mode is that it lengthens the power down and
power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.
P O I N T
Windows 98 systems only: Hibernation (Save-to-Disk)
mode requires allocating a significant amount of hard
drive capacity for saving all system memory, which
reduces your usable disk space. When you purchase
your LifeBook it will have space allocated for the
memory installed. If you upgrade the original system by
adding a memory upgrade module without changing
the size of your Save-to-Disk allocation you will get an
error message when you try to activate Hibernation
(Save-to-Disk) mode and it will not work. In Windows
98 Second Edition, use the PHDISK Utility to increase
the size of the Save-to-Disk file, SAVE2DSK.BIN. You
can download the Save-to-Disk File Allocation
information from our Web site at

C A U T I O N
Turning off your LifeBook without exiting Windows
or turning on your LifeBook within 10 seconds of the
LifeBook being shut off may cause an error when you
start the next time.
