The Suspend Button
The LCD Panel Switch
This notebook adapts the ‘one-button’ design, meaning that both
the power on/off and system suspend functions are sharing the
same physical button. The Power On/Off button also doubles as
the Suspend button. You may also active suspend function using
the Fn+F1 hot key combination.
Press the suspend/power button or hit any keys to wake the
system from the power-on Suspend mode. However, if your
notebook is in the Save-to-Disk mode, you must press the power/
suspend button to enable the resume event.
There is a small mechanical switch near the edge of the LCD
panel. Closing and opening the LCD panel activates the switch.
This switch acts similar to the suspend button. If the suspend
mode is set to Suspend, closing the LCD panel begins the
Suspend cycle.
Opening the LCD panel or pressing the suspend button wakes
the system from the power-on Suspend mode.

Power Consumption of the LCD Display
Your notebook comes with a TFT (active matrix) LCD display. The
display is one of the hardware subsystems that tends to con-
sume a lot of power. Whenever possible, you should turn down
the display brightness to a bearable level to conserve energy.
Turning down the brightness tends to prolong the working life of
the back-light lamp in the display.
To decrease the LCD brightness level, press Fn+ F8.
To turn off the LCD display, use hotkey Fn+F4.
