Using Low Battery Save to HDD and Instant On

I The ActionNote 890 series hard disk drive is partitioned at

the factory so that these options can be used. A 25MB area
is set aside for the saved data; this ensures that there is

enough space for all memory configurations.

I To prepare the hard disk drive, run the PHDISK utility,

located in the C:\PM directory. You also need to run this

utility if you upgrade your system memory. Type the
following command at the DOS prompt and press Enter:

PHDISK/CREATE

I If you install a new hard disk drive and

want to

use the

Low Battery Save to HDD or Instant On options, you need
to leave sufficient space on the disk unpartitioned. The

amount of space should equal the system memory plus

2MB. After you run FDISK to partition the drive, you need

to run the PHDISK utility to configure the storage space on

the drive.

I In Windows 3.1, when the computer is turned on after

using the Low Battery Save to HDD or Instant On options,
the PCMCIA services are not reinitialized. The computer
recognizes SRAM PC cards, but does not recognize most
other PC cards. You must reboot to reinitialize the services.

Using an External Monitor

When you connect an external monitor, make sure you turn it
on before you turn on the computer. The ActionNote

automatically detects the external monitor and displays data
on its screen. Press Fn F10 to switch your display from the
monitor to the LCD screen or to display on both screens
simultaneously.

Using a Serial Mouse

If you connect a serial mouse, you must use the Setup

program to disable the built-in touchpad.
