Introduction Power Management Power states after stopping the OmniBook The Windows 95 Start button provides two commands that stop the OmniBook. • Suspend changes the OmniBook to the Suspend state. If you plug in the ac adapter while the OmniBook is stopped, battery-charging components are activated, but the OmniBook stays in the same power state. On the other hand, if you unplug the ac adapter while the OmniBook is in the Display Off state, it changes to the Suspend state—if you plug it in again, the OmniBook stays in the Suspend state. • Shut Down (shut down the computer) changes the OmniBook to the Off state.
