Manually Entering Low Power Mode

In addition to the timer setup in the SCU program that causes the

computer to enter lower power mode automatically, you can manually

initiate lower power mode at any time in one of the following ways:

• By pressing [Fn]+[F1]

This will activate Power-On-Suspend mode. If the computer

remains in Power-On-Suspend mode until Suspend-to-Disk mode

timer times out, the computer enters Suspend-to-Disk mode.

• By closing the top cover

If an external monitor is not connected, closing the top cover causes

the computer to enter Power-On-Suspend mode. When you next

open the LCD display, the computer operation resumes. If the top

cover remains closed until the Suspend-to-Disk mode timer times out,

the computer enters Suspend-to-Disk mode.

• By pressing the power button

When you press the power button, the computer enters Power-On-

Suspend or Suspend-to-Disk mode depending on the "Power Button

Function” setting in the SCU program. (Default setting is PowerOn

Suspend.) If the computer remains in Power-On-Suspend mode

until the Suspend-to-Disk mode timer times out, the computer enters

Suspend-to-Disk mode.

It a good habit to save your data before you manually initiate low power

mode.
