Power Management System
The power management system controls the power applied
to the computer, the modem card, and the printer by using
the setup Program's Power Save menu. This system
reduces the power drain on the battery when the computer
power is on, but not actively being used.
Suspend and Resume Modes: The suspend
and resume modes are unique methods to minimize the
use of power from the battery. When the computer enters
suspend mode, one beep sounds and the
Suspend/Resume indicator glows a steady orange. All
tasks are stopped and their present states are stored in
memory to save power.
When the computer returns to resume mode, the computer
restores the same states as when it entered suspend
mode. One beep sounds and the indicator glows a steady
green when the resume operation is completed.
The computer enters suspend mode when:
– A battery-low condition is detected
– The Suspend/Resume switch is activated
– When the computer is not actively used (Auto
suspend)
– The suspend function does not occur when a
device is connected to AT Bus, or a modem card
is inserted in the IC Card slots.
The computer returns to resume mode when the
Suspend/Resume switch is switched on. While in the
resume state, the indicator blinks.
