2810 HD/20  (250-3551)    Using the Resume Function     Faxback Doc. # 1496

Most computers require you to save programs and data to a hard drive or
diskette before the battery discharges, or before you turn off the power. 
If the computer's battery discharges, programs and data are lost.

If your 2810 HD runs out of power, a feature called Resume temporarily
remembers where the computer left off in your program. When you turn on the
power again, the computer returns to where it left off.

You can use the Resume feature if you plan to continue running a program
within a few hours or days.

Notes:

* The Resume feature is turned off at the factory. You must turn on the 
  Resume feature using the Setup281 program in DeskMate or DOS before 
  running a program.
* The Resume feature remembers where left off in a program whether you use 
  a battery, AC adapter, or no battery or AC adapter. The Resume feature 
  remembers for a period of time, depending upon the amount of additional
  RAM installed in the computer. (See "Adding Internal 1MB RAM Cards" in 
  this manual.

The following chart lists the amount of time the computer remembers where 
it left off. You can return to where the computer left off by simply 
turning on your computer again.

Notes:

* If you turn on the computer after the specified time limit for Resume to
  remember, the computer boots-up as it normally does.
* When using some programs, the Resume function might not operate properly 
  and might cause the computer to lock-up.  If this occurs, use the tip of 
  a pen to press the Reset button on the left side of the computer's case.
