• If the ac adapter is connected, the OmniBook doesn’t suspend.
• If you have a connection to another computer, the OmniBook doesn’t suspend if
the connection is actively in use.
• Check your power management settings using the System Configuration Utility.
Check the port activity settings to make sure a device doesn’t prevent the
OmniBook from suspending. If a device interrupt is cleared, any activity for that
device can prevent automatic Suspend.
• If Infrared Monitor is running, the OmniBook doesn’t suspend if automatic
searching is active. In Infrared Monitor, check the status of the search option.
• If you have a CD-ROM drive connected, use Device Manager to view the CD-
ROM drive properties. If the auto-detect setting is active, it prevents the
OmniBook from automatically suspending after a period of inactivity while the
CD-ROM drive is present.
If the OmniBook suspends when you don’t expect it
• Check your port activity settings using the System Configuration Utility. If a
device interrupt is marked, any activity for that device does not prevent
automatic Suspend. However, keep in mind that related activity, such as hard
disk activity, does prevent automatic Suspend.
If the OmniBook doesn’t turn on
• Connect the ac adapter.
• Press the blue On/Suspend button to try turning on the unit.
• Try adjusting the display.
• Reboot the OmniBook.
If you get no response, remove the battery and ac adapter and press the reset
button again—then install the battery or plug in the ac adapter and try resetting
again.
If the OmniBook doesn’t turn on with a fresh battery
• If you replaced the battery after the OmniBook turned off due to a low battery,
either plug in the ac adapter or press F4+ON to turn on the OmniBook.
• If the new battery pack is low, plug in the ac adapter.
If the OmniBook doesn’t suspend immediately
• If the OmniBook is performing an operation, it normally waits for the operation to
finish.
• If you’re using MS-DOS Prompt in the full screen (not inside a window), it may
take up to 10 to 15 seconds to suspend.
If the OmniBook reboots every time you turn it on
• This is normal if you turn it off by pressing CTRL+ALT+On/Off.
• Advanced power management (APM) may be disabled. Check your power
management settings using the
System Configuration Utility.
