Starting the computer in Resume mode
To start the computer in Resume mode, follow the steps below.
1. Turn on any peripheral devices connected to the computer.
2. Press the power switch and hold it down until the Power indicator
turns on.
The display will show the same screen that appeared when you turned off
the power. If you experience any difficulties with Resume, refer to the
sections Resume precautions and Resume error conditions, which follow
in this chapter.
Automatic enabling of Resume
The system automatically shuts down if the battery pack becomes
completely discharged and the AC adaptor is not supplying power. When
this occurs, the computer first enables Resume if you haven’t already
enabled it.
Follow the steps below to recover from an automatic shutdown:
1. Replace the battery pack or plug in the AC adaptor.
2. Wait a few moments before you turn the power on again.
If the backup battery did not completely discharge, the system operates
as if it were not shut down.
If you are unable to replace the battery pack or connect the AC adaptor to
the system before the backup battery completely discharges, your data is
lost.
Resume precautions
Remember these points when using Resume:
„ Do not turn the power off if the Disk, SelectBay or DVD-ROM indicator
is on.
„ Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is on, unless the
AC adaptor is powering the computer. If you do, the screen clears,
power turns off, Resume fails and data in memory is lost.
„ Do not turn power off while a printer, modem or serial device is
connected and in operation.
„ Resume may not work properly if you run programs that do not use the
computer’s Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). (For example, some
game programs bypass the computer’s BIOS.)
