Using Power Management Considerations for Suspend Mode Consider the following before using suspend mode: The computer can enter suspend mode when used with the following operating systems: - OS/2 Warp. - DOS Version 7.0. - Microsoft Windows Version 3.11 with DOS Version 7.0. - Microsoft Windows 95. - Microsoft Windows NT. Important When you use Windows Version 3.11, ensure that Advanced Power Management (APM) is installed according to the instructions in "Installing Microsoft Windows Version 3.11" on page 123. Attached devices, such as a printer or a serial device, stop running when the computer enters suspend mode. When you resume normal operation, the output might differ from what you expect, because the device might be reset or lose its configuration settings. Sometimes you might want to use the computer with the LCD closed - for example, when an external monitor and a keyboard are used. In such a case, turn on the computer with the LCD closed or use the ThinkPad Features program to set the computer to not enter suspend mode when the LCD is closed. When a power-on password is set and the computer resumes normal operation by the ThinkPad Features timer or an incoming call, only a blank screen is displayed. To display a power-on password prompt, press any key or move your pointing device. Chapter 4. Using Battery Power 67
