Initiating Suspend Mode
There are four ways to initiate suspend mode. The settings can be adjusted in the Power Management dialog box:
• The computer will automatically enter suspend mode when not used for a set period of time
• Selecting the Stand by button in the Shut Down Windows dialog box
• Pressing the power button (if enabled in power settings)
• Pressing the suspend function key (Fn + F3)
Power Button Settings
The function of the power button can be set to Shut down, Stand by or Hibernate in the Power Management Proper-
ties dialog box in the Windows Control Panel. However, holding the power button down for more than four seconds
will force a power off while operating under any situation, resulting in the loss of any unsaved information.
Power Saving Tips
• Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using battery power. Operating a fax
modem, video, or audio equipment increases the computer’s power requirements.
• Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease brightness by pushing FN + F6. Increase it by
pushing FN + F7.
