TP 710T - Power Management System

Applicable to: World-Wide

Power Management System:
The power management system controls the power applied to the computer, the modem card, and the printer by using the setup Program's Power Save menu. This system reduces the power drain on the battery when the computer power is on, but not actively being used.

Suspend and Resume Modes:
The suspend and resume modes are unique methods to minimize the use of power from the battery. When the computer enters suspend mode, one beep sounds and the Suspend/Resume indicator glows a steady orange. All tasks are stopped and their present states are stored in memory to save power.

When the computer returns to resume mode, the computer restores the same states as when it entered suspend mode. One beep sounds and the indicator glows a steady green when the resume operation is completed.

The computer enters suspend mode when:
- A battery-low condition is detected
- The Suspend/Resume switch is activated
- When the computer is not actively used (Auto suspend)
- The suspend function does not occur when a device is connected to AT Bus, or a modem card is inserted in the IC Card slots.

The computer returns to resume mode when the Suspend/Resume switch is switched on. While in the resume state, the indicator blinks.
