Starting Out with Your OmniBook Starting and Stopping the OmniBook In addition, Advanced Power Management (APM) provides several automatic power-saving features that affect the power state. You can adjust settings in the System Configuration Utility to control features such as: • If the OmniBook is running on battery power and there’s no activity for a short period of time, it automatically stops by changing to the Suspend state. To reset and restart the OmniBook If Windows or the OmniBook gets stuck and stops responding—and you can’t recover in Windows—you can reset the OmniBook and restart Windows. 1. If possible, shut down Windows. 2. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot the OmniBook.
–or– Insert a ball-point pen tip or straightened paper clip into the small hole below the charging light and press the reset button inside the hole. Resetting is more complete than rebooting because it resets even locked-up components. 3. Optional (available in Windows for Workgroups): When the OmniBook displays a list of configurations, you may press SPACEBAR to stop the 5-second time-out. You may then press a number key and ENTER to select a particular configuration. If you do nothing, the OmniBook uses its default configuration. If these actions have no effect, remove the battery and ac adapter and press the reset button.
Then install the battery or plug in the ac adapter and try pressing the reset button again. Hint Rebooting from a floppy disk. If you want to reboot from a boot disk in the floppy drive, put the disk in the floppy drive before you restart the OmniBook. For example, you can reboot from the Support Utility disk, then use the commands on this disk to check your hard disk. 1-20
