The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LifeBook Tablet PC from its off state. Once
you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your
LifeBook Tablet PC.

above the keyboard to the right. When you are done working you can either leave your Tablet PC in
Suspend mode, you can turn it off. See “Sleep Mode” on page 75 and “Powering Off” on page 79
When you power on your LifeBook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal
parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LifeBook Tablet PC will emit an
audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on
page 112. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating
system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.
After satisfactory completion of the POST, your Tablet PC will load your operating system.
