2-30 Setup and Operation
Using the Save to File (STF) Feature
STF is a feature that protects the integrity of your working files. For example, if you get ur-
gently called away from your system without saving the current data, it automatically goes
into Suspend mode. After 30 minutes pass, and you don’t return, your working environment
is saved to a special file on your hard disk.
There are two ways to set your NEC Versa’s STF feature. One method is via the Setup
utility. Select Power Management from the Setup Main Menu. Move the cursor down and
highlight Suspend Mode. Press the
PgUp
key and select STF. Save the settings and exit
Setup.
The second method is to press the Fn Suspend buttons simultaneously, before you leave
your NEC Versa. This function initiates STF on demand.
NOTE
When the status bar reads that there is only
3% power remaining in the system, the NEC
Versa automatically performs a STF.

Saves you time. When you return from that urgent call or meeting, you don’t
