on the French keyboard) or set the Suspend Time-Out option in
the Power Menu of the Setup program. To resume using the computer, press
the power button. The computer may take several seconds to return to nor-
mal operation. If you connect or remove devices while the computer is in
save-to-disk suspend mode, the computer automatically recognizes the
newly connected devices when it resumes normal operation. If you encoun-
ter problems with a PC Card after resuming from save-to-disk suspend
mode, remove and reinsert the PC Card. When the battery is nearly
depleted, the computer enters save-to-disk suspend mode to preserve system
data.
