Power
When the Power Supply Is Uncertain
Make sure that Hibernation remains enabled, especially if you are
operating the notebook on battery power and do not have access
to an external power supply. If the battery pack fails, Hibernation
saves your work to a hibernation file and shuts down the
notebook.
It is recommended that if you pause your work when the power
supply is uncertain, initiate Hibernation, shut down the notebook,
or save your work and then initiate Standby.
When Using Infrared or Drive Media
Standby and Hibernation interfere with the use of infrared
communication and drive media:
If the notebook is in Standby or Hibernation, you cannot
initiate an infrared transmission.
Ä
CAUTION:
To prevent possible video and audio degradation and loss
of audio or video playback functionality, do not initiate Standby or
Hibernation while using drive media.
If Standby or Hibernation is accidentally initiated while a
drive medium (such as a diskette, CD, or DVD) is in use:
Your playback may be interrupted.
You may see a warning message: “Putting the computer
into Hibernation or Standby may stop the playback. Do
you want to continue?” Select No.
Resume from Hibernation or Standby by pressing the
power button.
Audio and video may resume or you may need to restart
the drive medium.
