Suspend mode for several hours without losing data. To
resume activity, press the Suspend/ Resume button again. The
computer resumes normal operation at the point at which you

The Power Management option is set to AC Disabled

option set to either Enabled or AC Disabled, and the
Low Battery option set to Suspend or Save to HDD.

necessary) and press the power button. Your computer will
return you to wherever you were when your battery ran out or
