Standby/Hibernation Functions
z
Do not enter either the standby or hibernation mode under the following conditions. You
may corrupt your data or file, the standby or hibernation function may not work, or the
computer (or peripherals) may fail to work properly.
• When the hard disk drive indicator
or SD Memory Card indicator is on.
• When playing/recording audio files and displaying images (such as MPEG files).
• When using communications software or the network function.
• When using PC Cards.
(If these cards fail to work properly, restart the computer.)

In standby or hibernation mode
z
Do not insert or remove peripherals; abnormal operation may result.
z
In standby mode, power is consumed. If PC Cards are inserted, more power is consumed.
When all power has been consumed, all data saved at standby is lost since it is retained in
memory. We therefore recommend plugging in the AC adaptor when using the standby
function.
