Resume mode

One of the computer’s most useful features is Resume mode. This feature

lets you turn the computer’s power off without exiting your software

application. When you turn the power on again, you can resume work

where you left off, because the screen display is restored as you left it.

This saves time and battery power.
With Resume enabled, the computer performs the following when you

turn the system’s power on:

„

Confirms that resume mode is enabled.

„

Restarts the hard disk.

„

Restores the system, including data in memory, to its state

immediately prior to shutdown.

„

Restores the screen display as you left it.

Resume does not save your files to a physical disk. It maintains the

information in memory so you can start your application without reloading it

when you turn the computer on again. It is always a wise precaution,

however, to save your work before you turn the computer off.
