Chapter 2. Using the TabletSuspending and resuming operationiX104C5 User’s Handbook 31Suspending and resuming operationTo conserve battery power when you do not want to turn off the computer or when you need to install a charged battery pack, put the computer into Sleep mode. (You can suspend operation without closing any programs or Windows.)When you suspend operation:■Programs that are running stop (but do not close).■Active data is saved.■The system enters one of the following low-power modes:• Sleep (Suspend-to-RAM) mode – The Status LED light is breathing green. Active data is saved in RAM and most other components are turned off. Although the computer uses very little power when in Sleep mode, eventually the battery’s power does run out. If you do not plan to use the computer for an extended period of time, turn the computer off or put it in Hibernation mode instead of Sleep mode.• Hibernation mode – Active data is saved on the SSD and power usage is reduced to the same level as when the computer is turned off. In Hibernation mode, there is no danger of losing data if battery power is lost.Notes:If you have set your computer to turn power off (in the Power Options utility in Windows Control Panel), you cannot suspend operation. To change power settings, see “Selecting Power (On/Off)/Backlight(On/Off)/Sleep/ Resume button options” on page 55.In the default configuration, the P3 key puts the computer in Sleep mode and the Power button shuts down the computer. To change these settings, see “Programming hot keys to perform pre-defined functions” on page 65. For more information, see “Checking battery power status” on page 52.

Appendix E. Agency NoticesiX104C5 User’s Handbook 95RF exposure Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the tablet PC transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the tablet PC while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the tablet PC is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. Before a tablet PC model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurements may differ among tablet PC models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various tablet PCs and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. This device was evaluated and shown to comply with FCC SAR guidelines. Avoid covering or holding antennas when transmitting. Antenna locations are shown in the following figure.Health and Safety InformationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsYour wireless tablet PC is a radio transmitter and receiver.

The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.■European Union RTT&E Directive for SARThe exposure standard for wireless mobile tablet PCs employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. The SAR limit set by the RTT&E is 2.0W/kg.Note: In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile tablet PCs used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 1 gram of tissue. In Europe the SAR limit for mobile table PCs used by the public is 2.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue.The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations.DOC (Industry Canada Notices)Notice to Users of Radio and TelevisionThis Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations per the ICES-003CET appareil numérique de la class B respecte toutes les exigence du Réglement sur le matérial brouilleur du Canada.
