Using the Suspend/Resume Button
When your notebook is active, the Suspend/
Resume button can be used to manually put
your notebook in Suspend mode, or in Save-to-
Disk mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button,
when your notebook is active but no Access
indicators are on,and hold it in until it is
acknowledged by activation of the selected
mode. Which mode is activated depends on the
settings in the BIOS setup utility Power Savings
menu. The default is Suspend mode. (See page
100 for how to select Save-to-Disk mode.)
If your notebook is suspended,pushing the
Suspend/Resume button will return your note-
book to active operation at the point it went
into suspension. The Suspend/Resume button is
located next to the Status Indicator panel above
the keyboard of your notebook. (Figure 2-14.)
You can tell whether or not your system is in
Suspend mode by looking at the Power indica-
tor. (See page 19.) If it is visible and not flash-
ing, your notebook is fully operational. If it
is visible and flashing, your notebook is in
Suspend mode. If it is not visible,the power is
Off, the power is in the Windows 95 pseudo-off
state, or your notebook is in Save-to-Disk
mode. When you receive your LifeBook 900
Series it will be set to the default which is
Suspend mode.
