Updates and Corrections

This chapter updates and corrects the information in the

ThinkPad

600 User's Reference

as follows:

Using the ThinkPad Configuration program

Using a PC Card

Using power management

Using modem features

Using Windows 98

Using the ThinkPad Configuration Program

Some features of the ThinkPad Configuration program are updated.

For information about the ThinkPad Configuration program, read this

book rather than the

ThinkPad 600 User's Reference

The ThinkPad Configuration program allows you to set up and

customize to your needs the computer's built-in devices. For

example, you can enable or disable a port, switch between your

computer's LCD and an external monitor, and set the power

management mode.

Updates and Corrections

You can also start ThinkPad

Configuration as follows:

1. Click on Start.

2. Move the cursor to Programs,

ThinkPad and click on ThinkPad

Configuration.

To start the ThinkPad Configuration program for Windows 98, find

the ThinkPad icon on the right side of the taskbar; then double-click

on the icon. The following window appears:

1Click on one of these buttons to set the power mode to High

Performance mode, Automatic mode, or Customized mode.

2The Display Device buttons. Click on one of these buttons to

set the display output type to the LCD, the external monitor, or

both.

3The Help button displays online help.

4The View Angle buttons. Click on the front view or rear view

(with or without the port replicator) buttons to display the

hardware feature locations.

5The Device buttons. Click on the button of your choice from

the window. If the device is enabled, the red indicator next to

the button is lit. Otherwise, it stays off.

Corrections of the User's Reference

Note the following corrections:

The Recovery CD does support Windows 98.

2IBM ThinkPad 600 Guide for Windows 98

Updates and Corrections

The Diskette Factory program does support Windows 98.

Using a PC Card You can use a PC Card without PC Card support software

(CardWizard). For details on how to use a PC Card, see the manual

for Windows 98.

In addition, if you are communicating with a PC Card modem or

inserting a network PC Card in a PC Card slot, you should not put

your computer into suspend mode or hibernation mode, nor should

you click on Stand by in the “Shut Down Window” window.

If you remove a communication PC Card from the PC Card slot and

then reinsert it later, it might not work correctly. You need to reboot

your computer.

Your ThinkPad computer does not include the PC Card support

software (CardWizard), so references to it in the

ThinkPad 600

User's Reference

do not apply to your computer.

If you want to put your computer into suspend mode, first stop

the PC Card in the “PC Card (PCMCIA) Properties” window as

follows:

Click on Start, move the cursor to Settings, and click on

Control Panel.

Double-click on PC Card (PCMCIA).

From the list, select the card you are stopping.

Click on the Stop button.

Using Modem Features

For information about modem features in the

Online User's Guide

same description as Windows 95 applies to Windows 98.

Using Power Management

For information about power management, follow the same

instructions for Windows 98 as for Windows 95.

The word Stand by on the Windows 98 screen has a different

meaning from the word standby in the

Online User's Guide

Chapter 1. Updates and Corrections 3

Updates and Corrections

In addition, note the following:

Suppose you activate the alarm action as follows:

Notification: Display message

Power level: When the alarm goes off, the computer will Standby.

Now, if your computer goes into suspend or hibernation mode when

the battery is low before the alarm message appears, you will see

the message when the computer resumes. To resume normal

operation, press OK.

You can set the alarm action as follows:

Start the ThinkPad Configuration program.

Click on Power Management.

Click on the Alarm tab.

Put a check mark in the Low Battery Alarm check box, the

Critical Low Battery Alarm check box, or both.

Set the percentage of the power level.

Click on the Alarm Action... button. You can set the alarm

action in the next window.

Even if you don't set the low battery alarm, the charge indicator

will let you know that the battery is low, and then the ThinkPad

will automatically enter the power-saving mode. This default

low-battery behavior is independent of the operating system, so

the computer might behave differently from your setting if you set

the low battery alarm. The computer chooses appropriately

between your setting and the default setting.

Using Windows 98 In Windows 98, it takes longer to enter suspend mode and resume

normal operation than it does in Windows 95. This performance

difference is caused by Windows 98, not the ThinkPad features.
