Using Power Management
When other PC Cards are used and the computer enters suspend
mode, all application programs stop. Communication also stops for
communication PC Cards not listed above. For some PC Cards,
power to the PC Cards might also turn off.
When the computer is powered with battery power, the computer
turns power off to the PC Card, and communication stops for
communication PC Cards, so the duration of suspend mode is
longer.
If communication for a PC Card is not reestablished after
resuming normal operation, remove and then reinstall the PC
Card before restarting the system or application program. For
other kinds of PC Cards, if the PC Card or computer does not
operate, restart the application or computer.
Note:
To disable the “Suspend/hibernate
while docked” option, open the
ThinkPad Features program and click
on the Docking Station (
)
option.
When the computer is attached to the Dock II and the
“Suspend/hibernate while docked” option is disabled, the
computer enters standby mode instead of suspend mode.
Note:
You must set the Resume on
incoming call option in the
ThinkPad Features program so the
computer automatically resumes
normal operation.
For OS/2 or Windows:
1. Click on the Battery ( )
icon.
2. Click on the
Suspend/Resume option
(
) icon; then select the
Resume on incoming call
option.
For DOS:
