3.3. SUSPEND & RESET MOBILE COMPUTER
To save from repeatedly charging and replacing batteries, suspend the mobile computer
when you are not actively using it. Suspending (or “turning off”) the mobile computer holds
the device from running without cutting off power. It is a “soft-off” state which enables less
power consumption, and also a state which the device can quickly awake from since there
is no need to restart the OS and applications.
