The power saving modes are known as standby mode and suspend (hibernate) mode. STANDBY MODE When in standby mode, the contents of the RAM of your Notebook are preserved while practically all other components of your Notebook are shut down, reducing your power consumption to a minimum. By pressing any key on the keypad, you can bring your Notebook back to the fully operational state. You will restart at precisely the line in which you were working prior to the interruption. The computer takes less time to go into and come out of standby mode, but uses more power than suspend (hibernate) mode. SUSPEND (HIBERNATE) MODE The hibernate mode is an alternative to a complete shutdown of the Notebook. In this mode all data from RAM (system and graphic data) are copied to the hard disk as a file. When the Notebook is switched on again, this file is written back to RAM by the BIOS. In a few moments the Notebook is in the exact state as when it was last used. If while working on a document the Notebook is closed (assuming the correct ACPI setting), the Notebook saves the data in RAM for you automatically. You will restart at precisely the line in which you were working prior to the interruption. The computer uses no power while it is in suspend (hibernate) mode, but it takes a little longer for the computer to go into and come out of hibernation compared to standby. POWER SUPPLY 31 32 DISPLAY DISPLAY Unlike a normal monitor, the TFT display does not produce either radiation or flicker. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISPLAY A display catch keeps the display closed when the Notebook is not in use. To open, use your thumbs to slide the bar left then lift the display with your thumbs and index finger and position it as desired. The opening and closing of the display can be assigned various functions via the Power management feature. For example, the Notebook can be programmed to power down when the display is closed. SCREEN RESOLUTION The integral screen has a native resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. Using a higher resolution can lead to distortion of the display, especially with text. Using a lower resolution may cause the display to use only a portion of the screen area. DISPLAY 33 CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL MONITOR The Notebook has a VGA port for connecting an external monitor. Connect the video signal cable of the external monitor to the VGA port of the Notebook (see page 19). 3. Connect the external monitor to the electrical socket, power it up and start your notebook. CONNECTING A TV / AV DEVICE Your notebook computer is fitted with a 7 pin TV-OUT port, allowing you to output your display to a wide range of television and video equipment. For best results, you will need to connect a 7 pin S-Video cable from the TV-OUT socket on your notebook, to the relevant SVideo / SCART socket on your television or other AV devices. Alternatively, you may use a 4 pin S-Video to Composite cable to connect your notebook to your television. Please note that with a 4 pin cable you may witness degraded picture quality. These cables and connectors are not supplied with your notebook. 34 DISPLAY DATA ENTRY THE KEYBOARD By dual assignment of certain keys you have the same range of functions available to you as with a normal Windows keyboard. [. . . ] Limits - Limitation of voltage fluctuations and flicker in low-voltage supply systems for equipment with a rated current up to 16 A. · Keep the Notebook at least one meter (approximately three feet) away from high frequency and magnetic interference sources (e. g. , televisions, loudspeaker cabinets, mobile telephones, etc. ) in order to avoid malfunctions and/or loss of data. · Please note that only shielded cables shorter than 3 meters (9. 84 ft) should be used for the LPT, COM, USB, IEEE 1394, audio, video and network interfaces with this Notebook. · When connecting additional components, please observe the Guidelines on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). SYSTEM RECOVERY 65 ELECTRICAL SAFETY EN 60950 Safety of information technology equipment. · The connection of devices is limited to equipment that complies with EN60950 "Safety of information technology equipment" or EN60065 "Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. / Canadian purposes: The Notebook should only be connected to equipment which complies with UL 60950 / CAN CSA 22. 2 No 60950 ERGONOMICS EN 29241-3 EN ISO 9241-8 Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals (VDTs).
