Technical Information
If the power saving function (standby or hibernation mode) activates while communications

be adversely affected. If this happens, restart the computer.
Be sure to close the communications software before using the power saving function.
When using the computer in a network environment, we recommend that you set [System

[Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Power Options] - [Power Schemes]
Windows XP
