Understanding Power Management 4-3
If the notebook has been shut, the LCD comes back on and
the system returns to Active mode when it’s reopened
(unless it’s in Suspend mode).
Suspend Mode
Suspend mode is a power-saving mode that shuts down all
possible devices in the system while retaining data and
system status.
The system resumes Active mode when you press the
suspend button, if an optional serial port modem detects a
ring, or if the system is set to resume at a certain time of
day. (The system will not resume Active mode if a
PCMCIA modem detects a ring.) Suspend mode lets you
save power without first saving the working data.
Press the suspend button to enter Suspend mode when you
need to be away from your system for a short period of time
and want to return to where you left off.
