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, you do one of the following: ■ Initiate hibernation. ■ Shut down the notebook. ■ Save your work, and then initiate standby. When Using Infrared Communication or Drive Media Ä CAUTION: Do not initiate standby or hibernation while using drive media. Doing so may result in possible video and audio degradation and loss of audio or video playback functionality. Standby and hibernation interfere with the use of infrared and Bluetooth® communication, and drive media. Note the following guidelines: ■ If the notebook is in standby or hibernation, you cannot initiate an infrared or Bluetooth transmission. ■ If standby or hibernation is accidentally initiated while a drive medium (such as a CD or DVD) is in use: ❏ Your playback may be interrupted. ❏ You may see the following warning message: "Putting the computer into hibernation or standby may stop the playback. Do you want to continue?" Select No. ❏ You may need to restart the playback to resume audio and video. 2-8 Hardware and Software Guide
