Identifying a Suspend Condition
When Suspend initiates, the following occurs:
■ the computer beeps twice.
■ the screen blanks.
■ the power/suspend light blinks.
NOTE: If a low battery condition occurs while the computer is in
Suspend, the system initiates Hibernation and will not resume
until a power source becomes available.
Initiating Suspend
Suspend can be initiated either by you or by the system.
■ System-initiated Suspend occurs:
❏ after a predetermined period of system inactivity.
❏ during a normal battery condition (not during a low battery
condition).
❏ In Windows 95, when the Medium, High, or Custom level
of battery conservation is used.
■ You can initiate Suspend at any time by:
❏ pressing the Suspend button.
❏ clicking Suspend from the Windows Start menu.
When Suspend is initiated, the computer beeps twice, the screen
blanks, and the power/suspend light blinks.
Exiting Suspend
To exit Suspend, press the suspend button.
When the system exits Suspend:
■ the computer beeps twice.
■ the power/suspend light turns on.
■ your information returns to the screen.
IMPORTANT: The computer will not exit Suspend if battery power
is low or the battery is dead. You must find a new power source
for your computer. When a new power source is connected to the
computer, press the suspend button to return your information to
the screen.
