Suspending System Operation

system operation. Also, note the following with regard to suspending system 
operation: 
• You can remove the battery pack while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM or 
Save-to-Disk modes in order to install a charged battery pack. To prevent losing 
unsaved data, wait until system operation has suspended before you remove the 
battery pack. 
• Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period 
of inactivity. 
• Your system may be configured to enter Save-to-Disk mode automatically after a 
period of time in Suspend-to-RAM mode. 
• The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Suspend-to-RAM 
mode. Eventually, the battery will become fully discharged. 
Note:
If you will not be using the system for an extended period of time, shut down the 
system rather than using Suspend-to-RAM mode. 
• If the battery pack charge drops to a Low-Battery Warning level while the system 
is running, the system will beep periodically. If this occurs, suspend system 
operation, shut down the system, or attach an external power source, such as the 
AC adapter, to the pen tablet. 
• If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is running, 
the system is forced into a pre-selected mode (Suspend-to-RAM or Save-to-Disk). 
If this occurs, you must either install a charged battery pack, or connect an 
appropriate external power source such as the AC adapter before you can resume 
system operation. (If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level while the 
system is in Suspend-to-RAM mode, the system stays in Suspend-to-RAM mode 
until power is restored or totally dissipated.)
• Suspending system operation interrupts data communications; therefore, some 
programs may block the system from suspending to prevent an interruption. 
• The suspend action of the Suspend/Resume button may be disabled to prevent 
accidental interruption. If this is the case, pressing the Suspend/Resume button 
will not suspend system operation as described here. (In this case, suspend mode 
can only be achieved using the system software). Contact your local help desk or 
reseller if your system configuration is not suitable.
• If your system is equipped with a PC Card that allows you to connect to a wired 
or wireless network, you may be logged off the network after a period of 
inactivity while system operation is suspended. Contact your network 
administrator or help desk for details on log-off parameters for your network.
