Power Management
Your Fujitsu Stylistic has many options and
features for conserving battery power. Some of
these features are automatic and need no user
intervention, such as those for the internal
modem. However, others depend on the param-
eters you set to best suit your operating
conditions, such as those for the display
brightness. Internal power management for your
Tablet PC may be controlled from settings made
in your operating system, pre-bundled power
management application, or from settings made
in BIOS setup utility.
Besides the options available for conserving
battery power, there are also some things that
you can do to prevent your battery from running
down as quickly. For example, you can create an
appropriate power saving profile, put your Tablet
PC into Suspend mode when it is not performing
an operation, and you can limit the use of high
power devices. As with all mobile, battery
powered Tablet PC, there is a trade-off between
performance and power savings.
Power/Suspend/Resume Button
When your Stylistic is active, the Power/
Suspend/ Resume button can be used to
manually put your notebook into Suspend
mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button
when your Tablet PC is active, but not actively
accessing anything, and immediately release the
button. You will hear two short beeps* and your
system will enter Suspend mode.
If your Stylistic is suspended, pushing the
Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your
Tablet PC to active operation. You can tell
whether the system is Suspended by looking
at the Power indicator. If the indicator is
visible and not fl ashing, your notebook is fully
operational. If the indicator is visible and fl
ashing, your Tablet PC is in Suspend mode. If
the indicator is not visible, the power is off your
Tablet PC is in Hibernation mode.

and all of the other internal components except
those necessary to maintain system memory and
allow for restarting. Your Tablet PC can be put in
Suspend mode by:
Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button
•
when your system is turned on.
Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut
•
Down menu.
•
Timing out from lack of activity.
•
Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery
Warning condition.
Your Tablet PC's system memory typically
stores the fi le on which you are working, open
application information, and any other data
application information, and any other data
required to support operations in progress. When
you resume operation from Suspend mode, your
Tablet PC will return to the point where it left
off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume
button to resume operation, and there must be
an adequate power source available, or your
Tablet PC will not resume.
