In Windows 95, you can initiate Hibernation by pressing

Fn + Suspend

button at any time and from within any application.

System-initiated Hibernation takes place under the following

conditions:

■

when the computer is on and unattended, and a critical low

battery condition occurs.

■

when the computer is in Suspend, and a critical low battery

condition occurs.

Exiting Hibernation

To exit hibernation and resume work:

1. Install a fully charged battery pack or connect to an external

power source.

2. Turn on the computer by sliding the power switch.

The computer exits Hibernation. The information that was saved

to the hard disk returns to the screen at the point where

Hibernation was initiated.

NOTE:

You may stop the restoration of information by pressing

Ctrl+Alt+Delete

. However, remember that if you use the

Ctrl+Alt+Delete

function, all unsaved data will be lost.

Disabling Hibernation

To disable Hibernation, click the Hibernation tab in Power

Properties (click Start

Control Panel

double-click Power

Power Properties) and select

Off

CAUTION:

You will lose unsaved information if a low battery

condition occurs and Hibernation is disabled.

Using Suspend

Suspend is a reduced power condition during which most of the

major components (such as the hard drive, processor, and display)

shut down after a period of system inactivity called a timeout.

Suspend can be initiated whether the computer is running on

battery or external power.
