The suspend/resume  switch provides an efficient way to save

battery power. This switch is located on the top left side of the

computer.

Slide the suspend/resume switch to the right to temporarily stop

system activity when you do not need to use your computer for

short periods of timt. The screen goes dark and the computer

suspends power to its components and devices; it continues to

supply power to the RAM. (If you are not going to use the

computer for a longer time--20 minutes or more, for

example—turn it off.)

To resume activity, slide the switch to the left or press the Shift

key. The computer resumes normal operation at the point at which

you suspended it.
