 1 Getting to know your TravelMate

34

you can put the computer in Sleep mode by pressing 

Fn-F4

.  Then close 

and latch the display. 

When you are ready to use the computer again, unlatch and open the 
display; then press, slide and release the power switch.

Note:

  If the sleep indicator is off, the computer has entered 

Hibernation mode and turned off.  If the power indicator is off 
but the sleep indicator is on, the computer has entered Sleep 
mode.  In both cases, press, slide and release the power switch to 
turn the computer back on.  Note that the computer may enter 
Hibernation mode after it is in Sleep mode for a period of time.

What to bring to short meetings

A fully charged battery runs the computer for about 3 hours under 
most circumstances.  If your meeting is shorter than that, you probably 
do not need to bring anything with you other than the computer.

What to bring to long meetings

If your meeting will last longer than 3 hours or if your battery is not 
fully charged, you may want to bring the AC adapter with you to plug 
in your computer in the meeting room.

If the meeting room does not have an electrical outlet, reduce the 
drain on the battery by putting the computer in Sleep mode.  Press 

Fn-

F4

 or close the display cover whenever you are not actively using the 

computer.  To resume, open the display (if closed); then press, slide, 
and release the power switch.

Taking the computer home

“when you are moving from your office to your home or vice versa”

Preparing the computer

After disconnecting the computer from your desktop, follow these 
steps to prepare the computer for the trip home:

Make sure that you have removed any media, diskette and 
compact disc, in the drive(s).  Failure to remove the media can 
damage the drive head.
