Part I: Getting to Know Your Computer

Power Management

Starting where you left off

❖

Automatically enter Suspend/Resume (memory) mode after
being idle for a set amount of time.

TECHNICAL NOTE: When the computer is connected to a
network, disable Suspend/Resume (memory) mode. This
utility may terminate your network connection when you turn
on the computer again.

Under normal conditions, a fully charged battery will sustain
Suspend/Resume (memory) mode for about two days. If the
computer displays

WARNING RESUME FAILURE

when you turn on the

computer while it is in Suspend/Resume (memory) mode, the
computer’s battery is probably discharged. This may happen if
you have had the computer turned off for a long time. Any work
you had not previously saved to disk will be lost. To recharge the
battery, connect the computer to an AC power source and leave it
turned off for at least seven hours.

Using Hibernation mode

Hibernation mode saves the current state of the computer to hard
disk before shutting down completely. Hibernation mode uses no
battery power to maintain the information.

Hibernation mode is set as the default on your computer.

NOTE: Hibernation mode is not available on Windows NT.

To enable Hibernation mode in Windows 98 Second Edition:

Open the Start menu, point to Settings, and click Control
Panel.

Double-click the Power Management icon.

A Power Management Advisory dialog box appears.

Click OK to clear the dialog box.
