Battery Charging
When you use the AC adapter to connect your GoBook MAX to a power outlet, the internal battery will
automatically begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Power LED activity indicator on the
indicator panel will be flashing. When the battery is fully charged, the Power LED activity indicator will
turn solid.
It will take 4 to 5 hours to recharge the battery. Refer to the following table:
Power Saving Modes
Adjust the default power management settings in the Power Management (Power Options) dialog box in
the Control Panel. The Power Management (Power Options) dialog box allows you to set different
actions to take when the computer is left idle for a certain amount of time.
Suspend Mode
There are several possible settings for suspend mode. You may Suspend to RAM, Suspend to Disk
(Hibernate), or disable suspend altogether, which is not recommended.
Suspend to RAM
In a suspend to RAM, the contents of your computer’ s memory are held intact, while practically all the
rest of the components in your computer either turn off completely, or reduce power consumption to a
minimum. In a Suspend to RAM, your computer remains active but with the minimum possible power
consumption. Return the computer to full power by pressing FN+On. When the computer returns from
suspend mode, the desktop appears with the same files and programs open as when the computer was
suspended. A fully-charged battery can maintain a Suspend to RAM for many hours.
Suspend to Disk (Hibernate)
Suspend to Disk (Hibernate) is similar to turning off the computer, except that the current state of the
computer is copied to the hard disk as a special file. When the computer returns from suspend mode, the
desktop appears with the same files and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Suspend
to Disk (Hibernate) is very useful when you don’ t want to take the time to shut down all open programs
one by one to shut off the computer, only to have to open the same programs and files the next time you
use the computer. This mode is also called hibernation mode.
